Credit Card Nation: The Consequences of America's Addiction to Credit

by Robert D Manning

Credit Card Nation: The Consequences of America's Addiction to Credit Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Credit-card debt is choking American prosperity off at the neck. In Credit Card Nation, Robert D. Manning tells a fascinating story about the present and future consequences of credit dependence across all strata of U.S. society. Through extensive interviews with consumers, Manning talks to debtors, and to average Americans, affected by what Manning describes as our "credit card nation": an American juggernaut of indebtedness that spans personal, corporate, and governmental debt.

Synopsis:

A fascinating and timely chronicle of America's tortured relationship to money-and the future crisis that looms as a result of our overwhelming reliance on credit.
