Meer over het boek
The book delves into the historical struggle against wage loans, highlighting how this conflict shaped the American credit market by reinforcing divisions based on class, race, and gender. Simon Bittmann presents a compelling argument that the moral and political efforts of Progressive Era reformers contributed to the establishment of exclusionary credit systems that predominantly benefited white male breadwinners, thereby illuminating the intersection of economic practices and social inequalities.
