Sean O'Connell examines the history of consumer credit and debt in working class communities. Concentrating on forms of credit that were traditionally very dependent on personal relationships and social networks, he demonstrates how community-based arrangements declined as more impersonal forms of borrowing emerged during the twentieth century.
