Drawing on perspectives from anthropology and social theory, this comprehensive book delves into the intricate daily practices of debt collection in nineteenth-century capitalism, with a specific focus on Switzerland, an exemplary case of liberal rule. Until they were standardized in a Swiss federal law in 1889, debt collection and bankruptcy relied on established customs and practices. The Swiss legal term "Rechtstrieb," which translates to "law drive," succinctly captures the wide range of these practices. By examining these forms of summary justice, the book offers a unique window into the makeshift economies and the contested political imaginaries of nineteenth-century everyday life. Ultimately, the book presents an empirically grounded and theoretically informed history of quotidian legal practices in the everyday economy, making a compelling argument for studying capitalism from the bottom up.
