McElwee writes: "According to the prevailing story, debt is caused by lavish and irresponsible spending by poor and middle-class families. But like much 'conventional wisdom,' an increasing amount of evidence belies this point. In fact, the decline of saving and the rise of debt was an almost inevitable consequence of families trying to scrape by in the face of rising inequality."
