Biographical note
Edited by Jodi Gardner, University of Auckland, New Zealand, Mia Gray, Senior University Lecturer, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge and Fellow at Girton College and Katharina Moser, Lecturer, Birmingham Law School, University of Birmingham, UK‘The book is brilliant for illuminating the crush and bind of debt for low-income individuals in otherwise high-income British society since the advent of post-2008 austerity. Far from a unique and cloistered experience of the unlucky or undeserving, the book makes clear how gripping debt will remain without a range of urgently needed policy changes. These chapters will be indispensable reading for students, scholars, civil society, and, one desperately hopes, policy makers.’
