From mortgages to student loans, from credit card bills to US deficit spending, debt is widespread and increasing.Drawing on scholarship from economics, accounting, and critical rhetoric and social theory, Kellie Sharp-Hoskins critiques debt not as an economic indicator or a tool of finance but as a cultural system. Through case studies of the student-loan crisis, medical debt, and the abuses of municipal bonds, Sharp-Hoskins reveals that debt is a rhetorical construct entangled in broader systems of wealth, rule, and race. Perhaps more than any other social marker or symbol, the concept of "debt" indicates differences between wealthy and poor, productive and lazy, secure and risky, worthy and unworthy. Tracking the emergence and work of debt across temporal and spatial scales reveals how it exacerbates vulnerabilities and inequities under the rhetorical cover of individual, moral, and volitional calculation and equivalency.A new perspective on a serious problem facing our society, Rhetoric in Debt not only reveals how debt organizes our social and cultural relations but also provides a new conceptual framework for a more equitable world. 410 0$aRSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric Series 606 $aDebt$xSocial aspects 606 $aRhetoric 610 $aaffect. 610 $acritical accounting. 610 $adebt. 610 $adifferential rhetorical work of debt. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $afeminist methodology. 610 $alivability and debt. 610 $amateriality. 610 $arelationships between rhetoric and economics. 610 $arhetoric. 610 $arhetorical accounting. 615 0$aDebt$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aRhetoric. 676 $a336.3/4 700 $aSharp-Hoskins$b Kellie$f1982-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01430698 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739490403321 996 $aRhetoric in debt$93570534 997 $aUNINA
