{"product_id":"its-in-the-cards-lloyd-klein-9780275957575","title":"It's in the Cards: Consumer Credit and the American Experience","description":"This is the first comprehensive account of the development of consumer credit. Consumer credit is a vital force driving the development of our economic system. Rather than look at consumer credit solely as an economic phenomenon, Klein examines the social impact of the consumer credit industry within the framework of economic and cultural change. His analysis offers a concise examination of the industry from the perspective of marketing, the creating of material and experiential products, and the product distribution mechanisms. The discussion of changes within the bankruptcy structure accounts for the creation of overzealous consumer spending and the implementation of controls over individual consumer credit. This will be of interest to scholars or students concentrating in economic sociology, stratification, and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lloyd Klein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275957578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275957575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.38w x 0.68d","brand":"Lloyd Klein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001115853055,"sku":"9780275957575","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad1bec98-4613-4583-8340-f38430210f94.jpg?v=1751600111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/its-in-the-cards-lloyd-klein-9780275957575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
