Rezensionen

'This succinct book cuts through the seemingly neutral language used to justify austerity policies to reveal the intersecting inequalities, with gender at their heart, that such policies perpetrate.'
Naila Kabeer, London School of Economics

'A clear and accessible account of the fundamentally gendered nature of austerity, and a prescient reminder of the inequities that COVID-19 may deepen - unless we embrace the credible alternatives offered by Diane Perrons in this book.'
Hannah Bargawi, SOAS University of London
