Vendor-Consumer Exchange Relationships in Rural Amazonia: Informal Credit and the Art of Collecting Payment
A fundamental assumption about credit-debt relationships holds that creditors always have legal power over debtors. This paper analyzes a unique situation in which customers can legally refrain from paying their creditors. To understand such reversal in the nature of credit/debt, we need to understand the cultural-social context of these relationships.
