{"product_id":"the-indebted-society-janet-ford-9781138467729","title":"The Indebted Society: Credit and Default in the 1980s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about debt - a situation which affects a large and growing number of people. In Britain alone in 1986 more than 2 million people were sued for debt in the county courts. But debt cannot be understood apart from credit, and the 1980s have seen a substantial increase in the amount of credit available. \u003cbr\u003eIn The Indebted Society Janet Ford gives both an overview of the contemporary credit and debt society and a discussion of the borrower's experience and management of debt. As well as providing a critical examination of the growth and changing structure of credit provision, describing the social and economic base for such growth, and considering explanations for the emergence of default and contemporary attitudes to debt, she also presents a detailed study of forty households with mortgage arrears, placing these personal histories within the broader structure of a credit and debt society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138467723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138467729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Janet Ford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065359937791,"sku":"9781138467729","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09cf2486-2bb5-4446-84ee-e483bc10a751.jpg?v=1768674682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-indebted-society-janet-ford-9781138467729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
