Summary:
"Since the late twentieth century, banks and insurance companies have grown rapidly and consolidated so that financial markets are dominated by fewer and bigger players. Marion Laboure and Nicolas Deffrennes argue that this trend has made access to financial services, especially high-quality financial services, harder for people with low and middle incomes in developed countries, exacerbating inequality.
