Title: Fascinating footnotes aren't enough to redeem bad text
Review: Boy, there's a lot in this book, but not a lot about credit cards or even consumer credit. I learned that Dail-a-Porn lasts 57 seconds, how truckers negotiate prices from prostitutes on CB radio, and that a certain woman who doesn't find Arabian-nights themed hotel rooms sexy prefers bondage games. But what is the point: that credit lets people buy things, that credit cards let people borrow to buy, that a card rather then currency removes a fetish for retaining money, or that a card encourages annonymity? Don't truckers pay hookers in cash anyway?This is a messy pastiche of the author's previous academic paper, the type of sociology that consists of recounting the scripts of ads then telling readers what the advertisers were really trying to say, and lots of academic sounding references. Freud, Marx, Weber, Veblen,Maury Povich,and Foucalt have all been included in that festive intellectual name- dropping style.
