{"product_id":"9781509526963","title":"Is Austerity Gendered? (The Future of Capitalism)","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\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 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\n\n\u003cp\u003e She 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","brand":"Polity Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48316412887275,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.7,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781509526963","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
