Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'austerity'

Austerity refers to economic policies that aim to reduce government budget deficits through spending cuts, tax increases, or a combination of both measures. These restrictive fiscal policies are typically implemented during economic downturns or debt crises, often as conditions for financial assistance from international organizations. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to austerity can dramatically alter national economic trajectories, social stability, and political landscapes.
