Abstract

If, as many theorists have suggested, disability is intimately related to the economy, then we can expect that the current recession will have an impact on the way that disability is both experienced and conceptualised. Here some of the likely impacts of the economic downturn will be outlined and ways in which disability activists and academics might best address themselves to the situation considered.
