Social Policy in Times of Austerity Bewertungen

[The editors] are tackling an important agenda when they bring together a range of contributions on different aspects of the idea and practice of austerity. Citizen's Income Newsletter
This is sure to be an influential book on the contemporary literature on the politics of austerity. Featuring insightful contributions by some of the foremost theorists in social policy, the book offers a remarkably powerful analysis of governments' recent overhauls of social policies. Dr Lavinia Mitton, University of Kent
A timely, thought-provoking collection of critical scholarship which helps to better understand the ideology, politics and economics of austerity in contemporary welfare states and presents the reader with alternatives to the standard policy prescriptions of today. Professor Peter Starke, University of Southern Denmark
