The book illuminates various topics such as value orientations, future expectations and the well-being of Austrians during the pandemic. Empirical insights give an overview of social inequalities during the crisis, changes in the assessment of relevant spheres of life, conspiracy mentality and many other pressing issues in contemporary Austrian society.
