- Summary:
- This book examines the effects on literary works of a little-noted economic development in the early 20th century: individuals and governments alike began to regard going into debt as a normal and even valuable part of life. The author also shows, surprisingly, that the economic changes normalizing debt paralleled and intersected with changes in sexual discourse.
