Abstract
Intergenerational justice is frequently invoked in contemporary debates about austerity, presenting it as necessary in order that we avoid leaving the younger generation with an unsupportable debt burden. Simon Wren-Lewis takes issue with this claim and contends that it is not that ‘burden of debt’ arguments are wrong, but that they are just not that important in our current context.
