Uncover how credit shapes prices, profits, and everyday life in Britain. This analysis lays out a clear case: the credit system, while touted as essential, carries deep risks for the public, tradesmen, and the economy. It examines how easy credit can inflate debt, distort markets, and curb competition, even as it preserves access to goods for many households.
In these pages, you’ll see a careful argument for reform. The author analyzes the harms caused by extended credit, explores its impact on prices, and proposes practical changes to reduce risk and restore prudent buying and lending. The discussion,
grounded in historical examples and economic reasoning, invites readers to reconsider the balance between credit, market vitality, and social welfare.
- How extended credit changes debt dynamics and price levels
- The effects on shopkeepers, small dealers, and ordinary households
- Concrete remedies, including shorter debt prescription and charged interest
- Comparisons with other jurisdictions and the broader policy implications
Ideal for readers of economic history, policy debates, and those curious about how credit shapes society and national wealth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the practice of businesses giving credit to those who purchase minor goods and services between 40 shillings and 100 pounds is having a pernicious effect on society. The author presents evidence that this practice leads to excessive spending, debt, crime, and a decrease in the quality and increase in the price of goods. The author suggests that this problem could be alleviated if businesses were legally prohibited from giving credit for these minor expenses, which would force consumers to live within their means and reduce the prevalence of these harmful societal effects. This book thus offers an original perspective on consumer credit and its impact on individuals and the economy.
