Politics Theory Other // Austerity and the demonization of disabled people w/ Frances Ryan

Frances Ryan joins me to discuss her new book, Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People. We spoke about the impact of austerity on people living with disability, the way in which New Labour's support for means testing and conditionality paved the way for the coalition government's welfare cuts and we also talked about the current situation of disability rights activism.
