Abstract
WILKIS, Ariel. Sociology of credit and the economy of the popular classes. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2014, vol.76, n.2, pp.225-252. ISSN 2594-0651.
This article analyzes the impact of the expansion of the credit market to the popular economy. It is based on a quantitative and qualitative study on the outskirts of the city of Buenos Aires between 2009 and 2011. The results show the need to review the perspective that dominated the interpretation of the low-income economic world in Latin America in order to pay more attention to the importance of the credit market and indebtedness in this social sector.
Keywords : sociology of credit; popular economy; consumption; indebtedness.
