Paying With Plastic : The Digital Revolution In Buying And Borrowing

  • Paying With Plastic : The Digital Revolution In Buying  And Borrowing
  • Attribution

    David S. Evans and Richard Schmalensee
  • Publication Details

    Book, 2nd ed, MIT Press, 2005
  • Description

    The payment card business has evolved from its inception in the 1950s as a way to handle payment for expense-account lunches (the Diners Club card) into today’s complex, sprawling industry that drives trillions of dollars in transaction volume each year. The authors, both of whom have researched the industry for more than 25 years, also examine the implications of the recent antitrust cases on the industry as well as other business and technological changes — including the massive consolidation brought about by bank mergers, the rise of the debit card, and the emergence of e-commerce — that could alter the payment card industry dramatically in the years to come.
