St Edmund's College SSH Seminar Series - Debt, Deficits, and the State: How Budget Politics Shape Economic Policy

Special

Debt, Deficits, and the State studies a key site where all different facets of economic policy come together, interact, and co-constitute each other, from monetary to fiscal policy, from industrial to social policy, from the size of the state to the allocation of resources to different purposes: the national budgetary process. Drawing on extensive archival research, it reconstructs the changing styles, techniques, and logics of debt politics in the UK as the nation’s public debate moved through the heyday of Keynesian and developmental discourses and into austerity-marked neoliberal narratives.
