The Poverty of Disaster

- Debt and Insecurity in Eighteenth-Century Britain

Bag om The Poverty of Disaster

Eighteenth-century Britain saw significant numbers of the middle classes imprisoned for debt, with many motivated by a fear of financial failure rather than a desire for upward social mobility.
