In this paper we draw upon important distinctions suggested by classics of anthropology in order to develop a theoretical approach to the phenomenon of debt. Building on the opposition be-tween the logic of the gift and that of the market, we elucidate moral tensions that call debt rela-tions into being. However, instead of reducing debt to either of these rival principles, we inter-pret it as a combination of both that allows for mediating between them in a highly ambiguous moral context. Using evidence from a small Russian town, we analyse how interest-free debt functions within face-to-face interactions in local shops and how it structures the ordinary lives of shopkeepers, salespeople and consumers in the community. We discuss a moral situation that turns the fram-ing of everyday purchases into a problem and demonstrate how a material device — a debt book — enters into a transaction in order to resolve it. A debt book turns out to be a specific graphic technology, a destructive device that subverts both marketization and communitarian aid by sus-pending the framing of interaction. In the resulting atmosphere of ambiguity, debts become an object of strategic manipulation for the members of community that demands good negotiation skills and use of moral arguments. Although the constitution of debt economy is highly dependent on the dynamics of marketization and economization, it can in fact accommodate very different moral regimes.

This article focuses on the reverse mortgage as a tool to enhance the well-being of the elderly by providing a way to use owned and occupied real estate to generate income in retirement. We describe the key features and history of the reverse mortgage program in the United States, with a particular focus on the types of mortgages offered, state support for the program, consumer protection and lender regulation. We compare the US experience to that of the other countries with developed reverse mortgage markets, such as the UK, Australia and Canada.

The introductory chapter to the volume devoted to diversity of the forms and practices of religious life in the post-Soviet space, aims to explain the success and rapidity of the process of religious revival in the former Soviet Union. It argues that religious revival of the 1990s was geared-up by return of material representations of religion, in the form of cultural heritage, into the Soviet public sphere. This new turn, "retrospective turn", started after the WWII with efforts of Soviet intellectuals, artists and writers who were critical about results of Soviet modernization.

The experience in studying and teaching cultural history of two Christian traditions, Byzantine-Orthodox and Latin, has been presented; peculiar interest has been reserved for social and cultural functions of soteriological, eschatological and politico-theological doctrines.

The post-2008 period focused attention on "twin-crises". Banking crises may lead to sovereign crises where fiscal vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the extension of support for the banking system. We develop a model that describes private sector generated capital inflow that is used to finance investment and consumption expenditure. In the event of an economic contraction, the (convex) haircut on outstanding debt is negotiated, or bargained, centrally by the sovereign. Two results arise: the volume of debt and haircut rate are inefficient. In this setting the accumulation of capital achieves two goals. First, it generates sufficient optimism about future income to allow the debt market to function. Second, and counter-intuitively, it increases expected haircuts by raising the value of the outside option of complete default. These competing forces characterize the optimal balanced-budget macroprudential policy targeting capital investment.

The research workshop “Consumption and Economic Crises: Post-Socialist
Experiences” was held on October 9−10, 2014 at the National Research
University Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Organized by Sandy Ross
(Senior Lecturer, Leeds Beckett University) and Christopher S. Swader (Assistant
Professor, Department of Sociology, HSE), the workshop explored experiences
of global financial crisis in post-socialist countries with an emphasis on the
everyday urban consumption culture in the first decade of the 21st century.
The workshop focused on four aspects of post-socialist consumer culture:
housing and credit practices; gift-giving, hospitality and reciprocity practices;
consumption practices and consumption ethics; and aesthetics. One of the goals
of this conference was also to explore the disjunctions and continuities between
consumer cultures and experiences of “crisis” within and between post-socialist
countries and other countries.
Each day of the conference began with a keynote presentation followed by two
moderated panel sessions in which relevant and on-going research was presented
by invited speakers. At the conclusion of each panel session, the floor was opened
for discussion and debate among all workshop participants.
The keynote speakers of the workshop were Alya Guseva (Boston University,
USA) and Olga Shevchenko (Williams College, USA). The invited speakers were
Marta Olcoń-Kubicka (Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw), Ferenc Hammer
(ELTE-BTK, Institute for Art Theory and Media Studies, Hungary), Mateusz
Halawa (The New School for Social Research, Poland), Elizaveta Polukhina and
Anna Strelnikova (HSE, Russia), Costanza Curro’ (University College London,
UK), Natalia Khalina and Alina Pishniak (HSE, Russia), Natalia Firsova (HSE,
Russia), Vadim Radaev (HSE, Russia), Zoya Kotelnikova (HSE, Russia), Eileen
Yuk-ha Tsang (City University of Hong Kong) and Radostina Schivatcheva (King’s
College London, UK). Sandy Ross acted as lead moderator. The conference
attracted a wide audience, including students and researchers from various
different countries.
