Insurance is an important - if still poorly understood - mechanism
for dealing with a broad variety of risks associated with modern
life. This book conducts an in-depth examination of one of the
largest and longest-established private insurance industries in
Europe: British life insurance. In doing so, it draws on over 40
oral history interviews to trace how the sector is changed since
the 1970s, a period characterised by rampant financialisation and
neoliberalisation. Combining insights from science and technology
studies and economic sociology, this is an unprecedented study of
the evolution of insurance practices and an invaluable contribution
to our understanding of financial capitalism.
