Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea
Blyth, Mark. Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013.

Blyth treats austerity as a political idea that presents distributional choices as necessity. When Authority Is Misread uses the Eurozone settlement to ask who paid for preserved stability—and how “no alternative” compressed a contested allocation into an appearance of prudence.
