- This monograph stemmed from a Leverhulme Trust-funded project on which Aveyard was the sole researcher from 2012 to 2013. It was written over the course of 2013 to 2017, offering the first historical analysis of political/governmental responses to the growth of consumer credit. Spanning the period 1930s-1990s, it evaluated state archives, the papers of the three major British political parties and newspapers. It critiques explanations of the rise of credit that place great weight on the Thatcher administration and neoliberalism, using a wider time-frame to illustrate the long-standing enthusiasm for credit and its consequences from across the political spectrum.
