This volume is an examination of how the credit card industry has
changed the way Americans buy, loan, and live. It is part history
and part expose of the damaging social and political consequences
of America's increasing reliance on credit cards. Using original
research and consumer interviews, Manning analyzes the growth of
the credit card industry and its related businesses by looking at
the story of its consumers - the people who use credit for
convenience and those who rely on it for financial stability. In
addition to providing a consumer history of credit card usage,
Robert Manning analyzes the larger societal attitudes toward debt.
The history of the credit card industry's expansion is one of the
creation of a new class of consumers who utilize credit and its
steep interest and penalty rates for economic survival. Manning
discusses the societal toll that the credit card nation is placing
on the young, the elderly, and all those in search of the good life
marketed by the credit card and banking industries.
