Summary:Gambling Debt is a game-changing contribution to the discussion of economic crises and neoliberal financial systems and strategies.

This full-scale anthropology of financialization and the economic crisis broadly discusses this momentous bubble and burst and places it in theoretical, anthropological, and global historical context through descriptions of the complex developments leading to it and the larger social and cultural implications and consequences.
