Isabella Weber warns of political cost of economic insecurity

Original: "Beware the political cost of economic insecurity" >> https://www. ft.com/content/4c7afa74-96a0-4 064-879d-7d2620585608

An FT commentary highlights Isabella Weber's new book, 'Anti-Fascist Economics: In Defence of Affordability, Dignity and Democracy', in which she argues that governments must make essentials affordable, warning that unchecked economic insecurity carries a dangerous political cost. The piece urges policymakers to treat affordability and dignity as central to defending democracy, a message resonating amid ongoing cost-of-living concerns.

Why now: Cost-of-living pressures and debates over state intervention in prices are making arguments about the political dangers of economic insecurity newly relevant.
