Abstract: This paper considers the way in which the financial practices of informal workers changed during the Kirchner governments (2003-2015). In this period, popular economy workers massively accessed to consumer credit, as a consequence of their incorporation into the social protection system and the partial formalisation of precarious jobs. Workers experienced this change in an ambivalent way: while accessing to consumer credit is considered an element of social inclusion, it also exposes workers to a new form of exploitation, based on the discrepancy between the (monthly based) time of finance and the (erratic) time of work, that tend to exacerbate inequalities. In order to include without exploiting, it is thus necessary to connect finance with social rights.
