Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People by Frances Ryan

4.0

This book is a pretty harrowing look at the devastation austerity policies have caused, particularly for disabled people. The details are horrifying, made me feel very grateful that I’ve had the luck not to be in the receiving end of this hardship, and angry that anyone should be enduring this. I wanted to hear more about the alternatives to austerity, but that wasn’t really the purpose of this book. There’s a covid update at the end that felt particularly powerful. Recommended, easy to read.
