Abstract
Abstract In 1963, a young French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu, together with two assistants—Luc Boltanski and Jean-Claude Chamboredon—conducted the first sociological study of the credit practices of a major French bank, entitled “The Bank and Its Customers”. This article discusses the context, the findings and the legacy of this study. First, the article sketches the landscape of the emerging mass credit market in France in the early 1960s. Then, the paper summarizes and analyses the report itself. We also demonstrate how bank-customer interactions and credit continued to be a subject of interest for Bourdieu throughout his subsequent career. Finally, the paper seeks to contribute to comparative research on the varieties of national configurations of private indebtedness in relation to the level of development of the welfare state.
期刊介绍：
Consolidating its reputation for historical and comparative sociology of the highest order, European Journal of Sociology publishes articles of interdisciplinary scope which represent some of the best writing in the social sciences today. The journal has a strongly international perspective, with a special interest devoted to the transition from totalitarism to democracy, to the multiple citizenship and publishes a third issue every year exclusively devoted to state-of-the-art surveys, the elucidation of central concepts and review essays which explore key topics with reference to the most relevant recent publications. The journal receives contributions from young scholars as well as highly respected names such as Robert N. Bellah, Jon Elster and Lord Runciman.
