Product description

In contemporary capitalist societies, insurance is an important - if still poorly understood - mechanism for pooling resources to face a variety of risks. This book conducts an in-depth investigation of one of the largest and longest-established insurance industries in Europe, British life insurance. The author draws on over 40 oral history interviews to trace how the sector is changed since the 1970s, a period characterised by rampant financialisation and neoliberalisation.
