Discover the true origins of austerity. This compelling political economy work reveals how economists crafted austerity policies not for fiscal health, but to safeguard capitalism and protect privileged capital from social unrest.

Essential for students of economics, history, and anyone seeking to understand the deeper motives behind financial decisions, this book offers critical insights into how economic policy shapes global power structures and perpetuates inequality. A vital read for grasping contemporary challenges.
