Clawing Back draws on a rich ethnography of the human relationships at the centre of the redistribution of wealth. The book shows how people use wages, welfare and debt to build social relations and market futures.

It offers an invaluable toolkit for activists and scholars engaged in sharpening their critical concepts for social and environmental change.
