As fuel prices rise, the rupee weakens, and foreign exchange reserves decline, ordinary citizens are once again being asked to make “small sacrifices”, consume less fuel, cut household spending, work from home, and tighten belts.
But who really bears the burden of austerity?
Why are citizens being asked to absorb the shock while corporate tax breaks and wealth taxation remain off the table?
Can an economy facing unemployment, inflation, weak manufacturing and declining mass purchasing power really recover through household sacrifice alone?
Join us for an important discussion on austerity, economic policy, geopolitics, fuel prices, the rupee crisis, and the future of India’s economy.
