Orchestrating Austerity Impacts and Resistance with Stephen McBride and Donna Baines

March 19, 2015

Following the 2007-08 global financial crisis, Western nations engaged a variety of measures that departed quite dramatically from conventional neoliberal wisdom. However, these policies were quickly succeeded by what we now call "austerity" measures. This collection engages with the question: Is there something new in this era of austerity, or should this be understood as a continuation and intensification of earlier forms of neoliberalism? Finally, Jim Stanford's afterword probes to the heart of the question of why austerity in the first place.

The editors and various authors will speak briefly, followed by discussion and refreshments.
