It straddles the divide between social and economic history and economic anthropology, and is based on archival and ethnographic research conducted between 2011 and 2019. The author emphasizes the role of the Indian state in shaping credit markets and creating the division between a juridically-procedurally defined 'capitalist,' and a reputationally defined extra-legal financial market. Also highlighted is the reactions by market participants to the disappearance of both the legal and the 'traditional' enforcement mechanisms for contractual obligations, and the resulting emergence of a reputational economy dependent almost comprehensively on trust"-- Provided by publisher.
