Event overview
Launch of the book 'Payday Lending: Global Growth of the High-Cost Credit Market'
Carl Packman will talk about his ground-breaking new work assessing the policy context involving payday lending, the history of the industry, and what can be done to ensure big lending companies no longer take advantage of consumers in times of financial hardship. ‘Payday Lending’ explores the rise of the payday lending industry across the world. Today there are more payday lender shops in the US than McDonald's restaurants.
Carl Packman is a writer, researcher and broadcaster. He is the author of Loan Sharks: The Rise and Rise of Payday Lending (2012), a regular commentator on issues such as finance and personal debt, and has written for many household publications such as the Guardian in the UK and American Banker in the US.
