Description

South Africa was one of the first countries in the Global South that established a financialized consumer credit market.

This market consolidates rather than alleviates the extreme social inequality within a country.

This book investigates the political reasons for adopting an allegedly self-regulating market despite its disastrous effects and identifies the colonialist ideas of property rights as a mainstay of the existing social order.

The book addresses sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and legal scholars interested in the interaction of economy and law in contemporary market societies.
