Can someone explain to me how Austerity works in economics. I understand the concept but not the implemetation and how it actually saves an economy

It doesn't. Hth.

In all seriousness, it just doesn't. Every place austerity was tried post recession recovered more slowly than places that had neutral of stimulus policies. Austerity in the face of a recession involves putting a lot of people out of their jobs in the middle of an unemployment crisis to somehow fix the Economy. It is stupid.

Have you tried kill all the poor? Or what about raise VAT and kill all the poor.
