The Bonds of Inequality: Debt and the Making of the American City

byDestin Jenkins

Indebtedness, like inequality, has become a ubiquitous condition in the United States. The Bonds of Inequality rests its case on economic evidence, institutional analysis, and historical examples, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The Bonds of Inequality also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in business & economics and history. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of the debt and the making of the american city and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
