Description
Crisis by Sylvia Walby offers an alternative framework for understanding the complexities of societal downturns. Drawing on complexity science and situating this within the wider field of study, Walby critiques and revises the social science needed to grasp the crisis.
The effects of the crisis are felt unevenly, exacerbating class and gender inequalities. Rival interpretations of the crisis - focusing on austerity and financial crisis - lead to diverse policies for resource distribution and economic growth strategies. Walby's work provides a nuanced understanding of these debates and their contested gender relations.
