Human Rights Practices during Financial Crises “A probing and sophisticated analysis of the relationship between ever more precarious human rights and ever more common financial crises.” —Joel Blau, Professor Emeritus of Social Policy, Stony Brook University, USA “The central questions Gautam studies here—Which segments of society suffer the most during financial crises and why—are vital and timely. His thoughtful investigation teaches us a lot about the distributional implications of financial crises and how political institutions mitigate or magnify those implications.” —Joel Simmons, Associate Professor, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, USA
