Credit and Community: Working-Class Debt in the UK Since 1880

Buch

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.

Über den Autor


Sean O'Connell first monograph - The car in British society: class, gender and motoring (Manchester University Press, 1998) was part of the shift in British social and cultural history away from the study of production towards the analysis of consumption and consumers. His more recent projects have continued this interest. Amongst topics he has analyzed have been the history of men's consumer magazines, and the history of `joyriding.' He has published his work injournals such as Economic History Review, Twentieth Century British History, and the British Journal of Criminology. His research has been supported by grants from the ESRC, the Leverhulme Trust, and the AHRC. His interest in the issue of consumer credit began with his co-authorship (with Dilwyn Porterand Richard Coopey) of Mail order retailing in Britain: a business and social history (Oxford University Press, 2005) and culminates with this monograph on working class experiences of consumer credit since 1880.
