How to use austerity in a sentence?

1. Masafumi Yamamoto:

2. Crisis Group senior consultant:

   Mnangagwa's austerity measures and the accompanying (impoverishment)... of most Zimbabweans makes many feel they were better off under Mugabe, but the former president had set the country on a unsustainable course that at some point was going to crash, mnangagwa to a large extent inherited a poisoned chalice, but one that he bears partial responsibility for.

3. Joe Brusuelas:

   This is not the time to tighten the belt. The economy is in no condition for austerity.

4. Mohamed Ghadban:

   Abadi is a cultured man and a conciliatory politician, but he also brought us austerity.

5. Alexander Groves:

   We have so much stuff in our lives, and sometimes austerity is a great luxury, it was great to be given the opportunity to make something that isn't a commodity to sell. Designers can design an experience; it doesn't have to be about more stuff.
