📌 “Austerity shrinks the state and stretches the household, until the latter hangs by a single thread: a line of credit” 📚 In this blog, @lenagempke.bsky.social unpacks how austerity and financialisation push South African women into debt to fund everyday life. read the blog 🔗 tinyurl.com/4sfwjsc5

2. Credit is deeply racialised: Racial dynamics intensify gendered patterns. Black South Africans are overrepresented in unsecured, budget-stretching debt; white South Africans hold more asset-backed, wealth-generating credit.

1. Credit is highly gendered: Women, across racial groups, hold disproportionately more credit linked to care and homemaking (store cards, furniture loans), while men are more likely to hold asset-backed credit tied to wealth-building and unspecified unsecured debt

I got asked on the other site (which I'm boycotting) for literature recommendations discussing the interaction between antitrust & (cyber)security. I think there's so much scholarship still to be written here! Not least because there seems to be a perception of a trade-off between the two. 🧵
