Beyond Material Salvation

This piece explores credit not as a financial tool, but as a temporal one—an advancement of future time into the present. It examines how credit reshapes consumption, defers reflection, and transforms present relief into future obligation. Part of the Beyond Material Salvation series on money, identity, and the hidden structures that shape financial behaviour.
