This is a comment someone emailed to me. It rings true to me.

"Austerity was is an invention it was created after the first world war 1919 1920 .There was great upheaval after this war and shock people had had enough, even the right had enough, they all wanted change a different system.

Those in power gathered economists together and created austerity , which paved the way to fascism."
