| Sumario: | This text raises questions that emerged while developing research on the
process, currently underway in Brazil, in which popular groups’ attain
increased access to financial services and mechanisms and the credit supply
available to low income people has expanded. Using one informant’s
trajectory as our guiding thread, we will take a critical look at some of the
original premises of our research and attempt to put together new research
hypotheses. The latter are meant to relativize differences and take a more
nuanced approach to the borders which we had initially supposed could
be drawn around the logics that guide the economic and financial life of
individuals of popular classes and the principles that reign actions of the
agents who provide them with financial services.
Keywords: Economic Anthropology, Economic Sociology, credit and consumption,
popular classes and economic practices, social mobility. |
