This book is about debt - a situation which affects a large and growing number of people. In Britain alone in 1986 more than 2 million people were sued for debt in the county courts.

In The Indebted Society Janet Ford gives both an overview of the contemporary credit and debt society and a discussion of the borrower's…

After reviewing the operational meaning of the 'family-responsive' workplace and assessing relevant data about its extent, it is concluded that American businesses have made modest headway in instituting such practices and that it is illusory to expect that market solutions will deliver good or equitable family policy in the forseeable future. The economic benefits of these policies for businesses have not been demonstrated, and impending labor s…

In addition, it is argued that the class identification of men is affected by the wife's work experience. The class positions of i…
