Rather than soften the blow of the economic and financial crisis of 2008 for ordinary citizens, policies of austerity slow growth and lead to increased inequality. While political consent for such policies may have been achieved, it was reached amidst significant levels of disaffection and strong opposition to the extremes of austerity. The authors build their analysis in three sections, looking alternatively at theoretical and ideological dimensions of the lived experience of austerity; how austerity plays out in various public sector occupations and policy domains; and the class dimensions of austerity. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to the study of austerity politics and policies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Austerity as Lived Experience: An Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBryan Evans and Stephen McBride\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART ONE: THEORY AND IDEOLOGY\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Manufacturing the Common Sense of Austerity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBryan Evans and McBride\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Articulating Austerity and Authoritarianism: Re-imagining Moral Economies?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Clarke\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Speaking Austerity: Policy Rhetoric and Design Beyond Fiscal Consolidation\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSorin Mitrea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 No Deal Capitalism:  Austerity and the Unmaking of the North American Middle Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEric Pineault\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Framing the Economic Case for Austerity: The \"Expansionary Fiscal Contraction Hypothesis\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEllen Russell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART TWO: IMPACT AND CONSEQUENCES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Austerity on the Ground\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvans and McBride\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Care and Control in Long Term Care Work\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDonna Baines\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 \u0026amp;#x2018;Negotiate Your Way Back to Zero\u0026amp;#x2019;: Teacher Bargaining and Austerity in Ontario, Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrendan A.
