The Politics Of Fiscal Austerity: Democracies And Foresight, Paul L. Posner
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Daunting fiscal policy challenges face democratic systems throughout the world. Fiscal austerity in the wake of the Great Recession prompted nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to institute major spending cuts and tax increases, increases that caused political and social fallout for years to come.

Faced with larger cohorts of retirees and fewer workers, nations will have to come to grips with a fiscal reality of higher …
