End of Days by Samuel Wagan Watson

Essex people talk about money and their struggles when they had little cash. They speak of poverty and being out of work before welfare benefits were universal. There are descriptions of being well-off in the 1920s, and the arrival of the Co-ops, hire purchase and credit cards. Modern marketing and materialism are  also discussed.

Original title: Making Ends Meet.
