A Culture of Everyday Credit: Housekeeping, Pawnbroking, and Governance in Mexico City, 1750-1920 - Engendering Latin America
Marie Eileen Francois
Pawning was a common credit mechanism in Mexico City in the 19th century. A two-tiered sector of public and private pawnbrokers provided collateral credit. This book shows how Mexican women depended on credit to run their households since the Bourbon era and how the collateral credit business of pawnbroking developed into a profitable enterprise.
