Yet, as the contributors to this collection argue, the recent austerity-related European crisis is not a breach of erstwhile development schemes, but a continuation of economic policies. Using historical analysis and ethnographically-grounded research, this volume shows the similarities of the European conundrum with realities outside Europe, seeing austerity in a non-Eurocentric fashion. In doing so, it offers novel insights as to how economic crises are experienced at a global level.Financial crisesSocial aspectsEuropeEuropeEconomic conditions21st centuryEuropeSocial conditions21st centuryEuropeEconomic policy1989-EuropeSocial policy21st centuryPolitical Economy, Austerity, National Debt, Neoliberalism.Financial crisesSocial aspects338.5/43LB 49000SEPArvkRakopoulos TheodorosMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826335303321The global life of austerity3951056UNINA
