The drum: A Royal Tournament tribute to the military drum

Royal Tournament

<p>Provides insight into the behavior of the principals involved in the problem of debt in Britain: buyer-debtor &amp; seller-creditor, money-borrower &amp; money-lender, banker, mortgagor, pawnbroker -- &amp; those on the sidelines who set the rules &amp; offer advice such as lawmakers, preachers, letter writers, tract writers, playwrights &amp; authors. The book tells the story through the 17th, 18th &amp; 19th cent. For some, debt was a way of life, for others, a state to be avoided at all costs; &amp; for some, to be ignored until there was no one who would save the debtor. Recently, over-indebtedness has often become the only way out, with banks, building soc. &amp; stores only too eager to provide easy credit in an attempt to counteract inflation &amp; encourage the customer to spend.
