What’s it about?

Austerity isn't sound economics—it's a political weapon that protects the rich, punishes the poor, and turns recessions into depressions.

You’ll learn

  • Austerity fails every time it's tried
  • It's a political project, not economics
  • Cuts shrink economies, not deficits
  • Debt is not always bad
