Reason over politics: how The Economist has portrayed austerity since 1945.
The Economist has historically framed austerity as a necessary evil, finds Timo Harjuniemi. He explains why this portrayal is exemplary of how post-political journalism frames economic policy-making more broadly, with one of the consequences being that the debate surrounding the necessity of austerity measures has become less pluralist.
