The impact of the Government’s austerity agenda has been felt most acutely by the most vulnerable while those who caused the economic crisis continue to profit unhindered.
This project will analyse the impact of the economic crisis and the austerity agenda and will look at how the economy can be rebalanced towards the interests of working people and away from those of the banking sector and big business.
