{"product_id":"is-austerity-gendered-diane-perrons-9781509526963","title":"Is Austerity Gendered?","description":"\u003cp\u003eAusterity has dominated the policy agenda in the past decade. Although it appeared to end with the COVID-19 pandemic, a return to harsh cutbacks in the future cannot be ruled out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this incisive analysis, Diane Perrons shows that while austerity policies have devastating effects on people's lives, their gendered dynamics are particularly conspicuous: budget cuts have been overwhelmingly aimed at services used by women. She shows how the gender aspects of this economic and social catastrophe intersected with a range of other factors, making the experience of austerity very different for different groups - and highly unjust. Not only that, it undermined responses to COVID-19.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe finishes by critiquing the justifications for austerity policies and asks whether there are compelling alternatives that can re-invigorate economies and societies after the pandemic, and avoid a return to austerity. This compelling book will be essential reading for activists, policymakers and students of feminist political economy everywhere.​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Perrons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150952696X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509526963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Diane Perrons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943074136319,"sku":"9781509526963","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_18401080-843f-4e44-bd1a-eb2e0a9abb36.jpg?v=1681496065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/is-austerity-gendered-diane-perrons-9781509526963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
