- Research for the book took 3 years (July 2008 - July 2011). It involved numerous village-based field trips, participant observation in rural and urban settings, interviews with policy makers and NGO officers and paralegals across a range of far-flung geographical settings in South Africa, plus extensive analysis of news sources and policy documents. Extensive secondary literatures—on the nature of the emergent middle classes in 20th century South Africa, the character of financial inclusion in that country, comparative anthropological studies on indebtedness—were also consulted. The writing phase took 3 years (July 2011 - July 2014).
