Summary

This book explores the effects of the gradual liberalisation of capital markets and the expansion of consumer credit on poorer households in the UK, drawing on the thought of Foucault and Althusser to examine the precariousness caused by a lack of savings and a reliance on debt at a time of reorganisation or rollback of government benefits.

Class and Inequality in the Time of Finance: Subject to Terms and Conditions by Niamh Mulcahy (University of Cambridge, UK)

-book explores the effects of the gradual liberalisation of capital markets and the expansion of consumer credit on poorer households in the UK, with particular attention to the precariousness caused by a lack of savings and a reliance on debt
