Aditya Chakrabortty’s 17 April 2012 column, ‘Economics has failed us: but where are the fresh voices?’ fails to recognise the diversity of sociological research that contributes to understanding social, cultural and economic life, including the current crisis. In particular, his column would have benefitted from a more careful reading of the British Sociological Association’s April 2012 conference programme (publicly available at: http://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/bsa-annual-conference/programme.aspx). It is the job of sociology to engage with the full scope of social life, including those areas Chakrabortty derides. That said, he might have drawn readers’ attention to the Work, Employment and Economic Life stream sub-plenary which tackled head-on ‘The Fallout from Austerity’ (also the subject of other sessions). Prof Diane Elson (University of Essex), chair of the UK Women’s Budget Group, and Prof Linda McDowell (University of Oxford), author of Capital Culture, Gender at Work in the City, offered incisive critique from the perspectives of economics, geography and sociology on the nature of the crisis and what it means for social life and change.
