To understand the ways in which individuals count, categorize, administer, prioritize, spend, save, invest, etc. their money on a daily basis, some research has analyzed domestic budgets from their intimate side, by entering the private world of the family. Other research has looked at these budgets from an institutional angle, observing how public, private or associative organizations affect them. Banks, social services, employers, landlords and the Banque de France, for example, have all been the subject of numerous surveys, as have collection companies, fintechs and microfinance institutions. What all this research has in common is that it highlights the extent to which the services, tools, practices and discourse promoted by these various institutions contribute to, constrain and sometimes renew the ways in which money is considered and managed within the family, thereby reminding us of the embeddedness of domestic economies and the need to study them in their social, economic and political universes of production and realization.
