Abstract

In the years since the Great Recession, falling foreclosure and unemployment rates have been used to measure the recovery from the economic crisis. Dara Z. Strolovitch rejects these supposedly objective indicators, arguing that these gauges ignore the enduring struggles of marginalized peoples. Furthermore, she challenges the notion of an economic “crisis” as reinforcing norms about who should be succeeding in the economy.
