What does an 18-month study of residents of a housing estate in southern England tell us about living with debt? Laurie Taylor talks to Ryan Davey from Cardiff University about her new book The Personal Life of Debt – Corson, Subjectivity and Inequality in Britain, which seeks to understand how debt affects people emotionally and financially. Laurie is joined by Sarah Kerr (LSE International Inequalities Institute), whose book, Wealth, Poverty and Enduring Inequality – Let’s Talk Wealthy, examines the stubborn persistence of inequality in the UK. Kerr argues that the gap between top and bottom earners has become deeper and more common across generations. Producer: Natalia Fernandez
