Of the joint to the structure: the permanent effects of the crisis
Several Authors
From the end of 2008 the first effects of the crisis became visible. The bursting of the housing bubble, the massive destruction of employment, the rapid increase in the rate of poverty and social exclusion, and the sudden limitation of access to credit, made it clear that the illusion of growth in Spain had ended.
So, without barely time to make us aware, we went from being economic yardstick within the EU to be forced to digest a situation, frankly, complicated. But beyond the specifics, the fundamental question that we faced was the structural nature of this crisis is complex and multidimensional, we were transforming as a society.
But, along with these changes have come other that will undoubtedly involve basic changes in our model. The tightening of requirements and the disappearance of aid measures are evidence that, faced with this reality of suffering for many families, we are witnessing the weakening of mechanisms of protection and distribution on the part of Public Administrations.
Assurance mechanisms of the society have been weakened in this time and the austerity policies have resulted in greater vulnerability of the Spanish society.
Given this reality, it is the question of whether the crisis, in addition to effects short-term, is involving other cut structural. Or to put it another way, if this crisis is creating a new society with a different DNA to that which existed in earlier times.
To this question we try to answer with the present monograph and the articles in it are included.
