This book was released on 2017-02-01T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le crédit fait des ravages. Jamais les ménages n'ont été aux prises avec des dettes aussi importantes; jamais les faillites personnelles n'ont été aussi nombreuses. Qui sont les surendettés ? Quels chemins parcourent-ils pour se prendre ainsi au piège du crédit ? La vie à crédit propose un regard neuf sur nos rapports à la consommation, à l'argent et aux dettes. Par des portraits vivants de personnes et de ménages surendettés, par le récit minutieux de leur descente aux enfers, et par l'analyse en profondeur de l'histoire qu'ils se racontent pour expliquer leur situation, l'auteur montre que le surendettement n'est pas un accident de parcours. Bien au contraire, il est une composante fondamentale du fonctionnement de la société de consommation de masse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours de ces vingt dernières années, en Europe ou aux États-Unis, plusieurs lois ont été élaborées sur le crédit à la consommation, donnant lieu à des débats trop souvent nourris de préjugés : bonne foi technicienne des acteurs, contre image négative du public... Pour saisir les enjeux réels de ces débats, il convient de les éclairer à la lumière de l'Histoire : tel est l'objectif de ce livre novateur. Depuis les formes archaïques du prêt de soudure, jusqu'à la carte de crédit, le crédit à la consommation constitue un des instruments économiques les plus indispensables de la vie collective. En favorisant la demande de biens d'équipement de masse, il a contribué à la forte croissance des pays industrialisés au cours du XXe siècle. De même, son rôle d'intégrateur social s'affirme nettement comme une des caractéristiques de son histoire récente. Or, face à cette pratique universelle, s'élève depuis la Bible une controverse sur sa légitimité. D'abord théologique, puis de doctrine économique, enfin d'utilité sociale. C'est l'histoire de cette controverse que présentent ici les auteurs : remontant aux théories les plus lointaines pour en décoder le sens et s'attachant principalement à dresser l'histoire concrète du crédit à la consommation, ils proposent un travail de première main, débouchant sur une recherche originale d'histoire économique. Du Code d'Hammurabi, à la question actuelle du surendettement des ménages, il n'est pas meilleure approche pour éclairer le sujet que ce balancement constant entre doctrines et pratiques.
Download or read book Sustainable Consumption written by Alberto do Amaral Junior and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad understanding of whether law plays a role in influencing patterns of sustainable consumption and, if so, how. Bringing together legal scholars from the Global South and the Global North, it examines these questions in the context of national, transnational and international law, within single and plural legal systems, and across a range of sector-specific issue areas. The chapters identify how traditional legal disciplines (e.g. constitutional law, consumer law, public procurement, international public law), sector-related regulation (e.g. energy, water, waste), and legal rules in specific areas (e.g. eco-labelling and packing) engage with the concept of sustainable consumption. A number of the contributions describe this relationship by isolating a national legal system, while others approach it from the vantage point of legal pluralism, exploring the conflicts and convergences of rules between multiple international treaties (or guidelines) and those between the rules of international and transnational law (or both) vis-à-vis national legal systems. While sustainable consumption is recognised as an important field of interdisciplinary research linking virtually all social science disciplines, legal scholarship, in contrast, has neglected the importance of the field of sustainable consumption to the law. This book fills the gap.

Download or read book As We Forgive Our Debtors written by Teresa A. Sullivan and published by Beard Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bankruptcy in America is a booming business, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans filing for bankruptcy each year. Is this dramatic growth a result of mushrooming debt or does it reflect a moral decline that permits the middle class to evade their debts? As We Forgive Our Debtors addresses these questions with hard empirical data drawn from bankruptcy court filings. The authors of this multidisciplinary study describe the law and the statistics in clear, nontechnical language, combining a thorough statistical description of the social and economic position of consumer bankrupts with human portraits of the debtors and creditors whose journeys have ended in bankruptcy court.

Download or read book A History of Hygiene in Modern France written by Steven Zdatny and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of an epochal change in the human condition that was part of what is often thought of as 'modernization' -a process that remade culture and society in France in the 19th and 20th centuries. Hygiene, Steven Zdatny convincingly contends, was that change. He reflects on how the development of hygiene: changed the way people thought about and treated their bodies; put an end to age-old afflictions and brought comfort where discomfort had been the unavoidable companion of existence; and helped produce a tripling of life expectancy. The book considers how the evolution of hygiene produced a society where people washed often, changed their clothes every day, lived without lice and scabies, and performed their natural functions indoors. It reflects on developments in industrial plumbing, public education, government investment, the invention of new products to keep bodies and homes clean, and a parallel makeover in the expectations, sensibilities, and practices about what is 'proper' and what is disgusting. These developments, the study reveals, were not steady and did not happen everywhere at the same pace. But in the fullness of time, they produced a revolution in the human condition.
