Description
The Violence of Austerity by Vickie Cooper and David Whyte explores the devastating impact of austerity policies in Britain since the global financial crisis. This study reveals how these policies have dismantled social systems that once protected people from economic hardship, instead causing widespread harm. Through contributions from leading academics and campaigners, this book exposes the institutional violence inherent in austerity measures. It sheds light on cases such as police attacks on the homeless, violent evictions of the rented sector, and the risks faced by those on workfare. Austerity is shown to be a form of social violence that affects people's lives in profound ways. This authoritative study provides a critical analysis of the effects of austerity policies, highlighting their far-reaching consequences for individuals and society as a whole.
