Everyman
House of Cards
1986 • E16 Dec 7, 1986
Many of us will buy our
Christmas with credit cards, and sort out the payments in the New Year. Credit is easy to get and it's on the increase. But for some people, credit is a nightmare. At worst, people lose their homes, their marriages and even their will to live.
Martin Young reports on the phenomenon of credit, and examines the morality of it. Ought lenders to give us so much credit? Or ought we to discipline ourselves?
