Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction: Austerity, Measured -- Austerity: An Economy of Words? -- Performing Austerity: Greece’s Debt Crisis and European Integration -- Austerity, Socialism, and the Capitalist Anti-Market -- Debt, Vultures, and Austerity in Argentina -- Austerity Wars: The Crisis of Financialization and the Struggle for Democracy -- On Austerity and Structural Adjustment: Continuity and Difference across Space and Time -- Austerity in Portugal: The ‘Middle-Classification’ of the Public Space, Migration, and the Silences of History -- (De)stabilizing the European Austerity Debate: Lessons from Post-crisis South Korea -- Austerity and ‘the Discipline of Historical Context’
Summary: Austerity and structural adjustment programs are just the latest forms of neoliberal policy to have a profoundly damaging impact on the targeted populations. 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.
