Description

Drawing on a range of perspectives from a wide range of countries, this book engages with the major debates surrounding austerity and neoliberalism, providing a grounded analysis of the everyday experience of work and employment. It goes beyond a sole focus on public sector work to uniquely cover the impact of austerity on work across the private, public and voluntary spheres.
