Poverty & unemployment; Sociology; Political economy; Bankruptcy & insolvency

Capitalism only celebrates success, and it can be difficult to know what to do when confronted with failure.

This book explores what happens when people go broke and what the experience of bankruptcy and insolvency is like from a qualitative perspective. It shows, contrary to the expectations of policy makers, that debt relief is not transactional. Rather, it is moral, theological, social and cultural.

The book demonstrates that debt encompasses fairness, trust, faith, sin, guilt, revelation and confession and that taking these factors seriously is vital to successfully navigating the world of the over-indebted.

Reviews for Thriving beyond Debt: The Lived Experience of Bankruptcy and Redemption

“Debt is not a simple financial or economic situation. Threading together an analysis of neo-liberal governmentality and the historical legacy of cultural and moral evaluations of debt, Roche illuminates the dynamic of this complex situation, and gives voice to both those who experience and administer it."" Tom Boland, University College Cork
