Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Birth of Credit Cards explores the transformation of credit cards from simple charge coins to the complex digital payment systems that underpin modern finance and consumer culture. The book examines how these small pieces of plastic revolutionized consumer spending, reshaped banking institutions, and accelerated the shift towards digital transactions. One intriguing fact is how the rise of credit cards in the mid-20th century coincided with increasing consumerism and the growth of the middle class. The book argues that credit cards represent a paradigm shift in how we perceive and manage money, fostering a culture of instant gratification and deferred payment.
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the initial concepts like the Diners Club card and the challenges of establishing a nationwide system. It then analyzes the impact of credit cards on consumer spending, debt accumulation, and economic growth, exploring the social and psychological aspects of their use. Finally, the book investigates the technological innovations that have propelled the industry forward, from magnetic stripes to mobile payment systems.
By drawing on historical banking records, marketing materials, and economic data, Birth of Credit Cards provides a comprehensive account of the credit card's evolution and its lasting impact.
