  • Tracey Jensen Tough Love in Tough Times
    Tracey Jensen Tough Love in Tough Times Introduction We are going to ensure, like every solvent household in the country; that what we buy, we can afford; that the bills we incur, we have the income to meet; and that we do not saddle our children with the interest on the interest on the interest of the debts we were not ourselves prepared to pay. George Osborne, 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review The global recession of 2008-2009 was caused by the collapse of the speculative housing market, global inflation as a result of new emerging markets for commodities, the over- inflation of asset prices and other high-risk lending practices in the banking industry. Many economists have also linked the current recession to the cyclical boom-and-bust nature of late capitalism. In response to the recession, a variety of economic measures have been implemented on national and international levels in an attempt to encourage recovery, most taking the form of fiscal ‘austerity’. ‘Austerity’, the quality or state of being austere and the condition of enforced economy, was named Word of the Year in 2010 by the Merriam- Webster dictionary, and has since been attached to a raft of neoliberal economic policies which have been concerned with deficit reduction, reduced public spending and diminishing/disappearing welfare benefits and payments. ‘Austerity’ is also the central agenda under which the responsibilities of the state towards its citizens are being reconfigured, for example in new, tighter conditions being imposed on those receiving financial aid and assistance. In the UK in 2009, David Cameron, then leader of the Conservative party in opposition, now Prime Minister, announced that Britain would move into an ‘age of austerity’, characterised by restraint, thrift and transparency in public spending, and here positioned as a necessary response to the national deficit and to the profligacy of the then- Labour administration (1997-2010).
