“…Austerity is often defined simply as a budgetary policy of fiscal retrenchment by the state designed to restore growth. By contrast, Hastings et al (2017) characterise it as a form of "regressive redistribution" (see also Taylor-Gooby, 2012). While this moves us closer to an understanding of the new forms of both impoverishment but also profit under austerity, it may be most fully understood as a new "moral economy" (Morris, 2016) moving around three key elements: finitude, futurity, and particular constructions of moral worth.…”

“…Peck's work on "austerity urbanism" aligns the project of delivering cuts to the local state as a core component of "neoliberal austerity" eloquently (Peck, 2012, 651). Others have employed his work to analyse cuts to local government and how they align with "the regressive logic of austerity urbanism" (Hastings et al, 2017). Although the functions I outline below "off-load externalities" onto the local level in the same way analysed by Peck (2012, 651), the focus is more narrowly on the implications of adopting this fourth 'blame avoidance' rationale for conferring discretion in social security schema.…”

“…Whilst the New Labour government for a period invested heavily in health and education, redistribution through welfare policy was modest (Chote et al 2010). Regressive austerity economics under coalition and Tory governments have since wiped out even those modest achievements, and the poorest local authorities have been dealt with the largest cuts in funding from national government (Hastings et al 2017). The net effect of these constrictions is heightened further still by the long-term crises in housing, which has witnessed a decline in social housing, decreasing home ownership coinciding with increasing private rental costs.…”
