The Poverty of Disaster: Debt and Insecurity in Eighteenth-Century Britain - Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Paul, Tawny (University of California, Los Angeles)

This study examines the role that debt insecurity played within society, and the fragility of the credit relations that underpinned it.
