Description:
Starting with the assumption that the use of consumer credit since World War II has been accompanied by increased institutional controls associated with substantial cultural impact on American life, Klein (sociology, City U. of New York-Medgar Evans College) examines the relationship between control mechanisms on consumer credit and the imposition of cultural values. He takes the credit card as the most visible symbol of middle-class credit society, but explores the whole realm.
