Product Information

The first consumer credit bureaus appeared in the 1870s and quickly amassed huge archives of deeply personal information. Today, the three leading credit bureaus are among the most powerful institutions in modern life--yet we know almost nothing about them. Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion are multi-billion-dollar corporations that track our movements, spending behavior, and financial status. This data is used to predict our riskiness as borrowers and to judge our trustworthiness and value in a broad array of contexts, from insurance and marketing to employment and housing. In Creditworthy , the first comprehensive history of this crucial American institution, Josh Lauer explores the evolution of credit reporting from its nineteenth-century origins to the rise of the modern consumer data industry. By revealing the sophistication of early credit reporting networks, Creditworthy highlights the leading role that commercial surveillance has played--ahead of state surveillance systems--in monitoring the economic lives of Americans. Lauer charts how credit reporting grew from an industry that relied on personal knowledge of consumers to one that employs sophisticated algorithms to determine a person's trustworthiness. Ultimately, Lauer argues that by converting individual reputations into brief written reports--and, later, credit ratings and credit scores--credit bureaus did something more profound: they invented the modern concept of financial identity. Creditworthy reminds us that creditworthiness is never just about economic "facts." It is fundamentally concerned with--and determines--our social standing as an honest, reliable, profit-generating person.

Reviews
Consumer credit reporting is ubiquitous, but its pioneering role in the surveillance of consumers has been poorly understood -- until now. Josh Lauer has dug deep into the historical sources and marshaled his findings into a rich and cohesive narrative that encompasses business dynamics, social norms, technology, and regulation. This book will become the indispensable source on the history both of consumer credit reporting and the surveillance society., Through his thorough analysis of the history of this industry, the seemingly harmless gathering of detailed consumer financial information throughout the years has led us to a point where our privacy is compromised and our financial identity has been reduced to algorithms and ratings. This book is appropriate for anyone interested in financial privacy, consumer profiling, the history of credit reporting and issues around financial identity., Crisply written, deeply researched, and forcefully argued, [ Creditworthy ] offers a reckoning with the informational infrastructure of modern capitalism, now a century and a half old. . . . In illuminating how the credit industry devised rules, formulas, and laws to tame this problem and also to profit from it, he has crafted a penetrating prehistory of our present dilemmas about data surveillance., Josh Lauer has written an important book for anyone interested in the history of consumer credit. Long before there were FICO scores, consumers' creditworthiness was being assessed and considered. Without the developments Lauer documents in this notable work, it is unlikely consumer credit would have exploded as it did in the early 20th century. A must read!, Deeply researched and boldly argued, Creditworthy is an empirical account of an important economic institution and the technologies, government policies, industry leaders, and professional bodies behind its rise. . . . Creditworthy makes a significant contribution to the history of capitalism, and is well placed within the new Columbia University Press series on this subject., At last! A book that drills down into the history of consumer credit-scoring and demonstrates its massive contribution to our daily experience of contemporary surveillance. Not just a vital chronicle of a hitherto hidden history but a principled account of what happens when human value is reduced to monetizing consumer details. Creditworthy penetrates to the core of contemporary capitalism's disturbing obsession with personal data., Clearly written, well researched, and wide ranging, Creditworthy provides a fresh account of the evolution of credit agencies in the United States. By combining insights from business history and cultural studies, Lauer probes the sometimes unsettling role of corporate surveillance in the making of financial identity., Consumer credit reporting is ubiquitous, but its pioneering role in the surveillance of consumers has been poorly understood-until now. Josh Lauer has dug deep into the historical sources and marshaled his findings into a rich and cohesive narrative that encompasses business dynamics, social norms, technology, and regulation. This book will become the indispensable source on the history of both consumer credit reporting and the surveillance society., Consumer credit reporting is ubiquitous, but its pioneering role in the surveillance of consumers has been poorly understood-until now. Josh Lauer has dug deep into the historical sources and marshaled his findings into a rich and cohesive narrative that encompasses business dynamics, social norms, technology, and regulation. This book will become the indispensable source on the history both of consumer credit reporting and the surveillance society., Who deserves credit? Who is a prime borrower, and who is subprime? The stakes of these questions could not be higher: loans are essential to the education, transport, and housing of millions. Lauer has written a compelling history of how businesses assess creditworthiness, from nineteenth-century trade associations to contemporary data science mavens. Lucid and packed with fascinating detail, Creditworthy is an essential guide to the intersection of finance and surveillance., Lauer's Creditworthy peels back the curtain on the business of rating consumers for obtaining credit--how to judge if a person was worthy of credit and, if worthy, for how much., [A] fascinating study of the credit-rating industry's central role in creating the 'modern surveillance society.' . . . Lauer's top-down economic history is a thorough, enlightening, and long-overdue contribution to the field., Clearly written, well researched, and wide ranging, Creditworthy provides a fresh account of the evolution of credit agencies in the United States. By combining insights from media theory, business history, and cultural studies, Lauer probes the sometimes unsettling role of corporate surveillance in the making of financial identity., Josh Lauer has written an important book for anyone interested in the history of consumer credit. Long before there were FICO scores, consumers' creditworthiness was being assessed and considered. Without the developments Lauer documents in this notable work, it is unlikely consumer credit would have exploded as it did in the early twentieth century. A must read!, This compelling book offers food for thought for all its readers, but especially for those surveillance scholars who argue that state surveillance has led commercial surveillance in the social monitoring of Americans., Creditworthy is a fine piece of scholarship that enhances our understanding of a pervasive and essential institution of modern capitalism. It is also a genuinely good read. Josh Lauer deserves a great deal of (you guessed it!) credit for his outstanding work., Who deserves credit? Who is a prime borrower, and who is subprime? The stakes of these questions could not be higher: loans are essential to the education, transport, and housing of millions. Lauer has written a compelling history of how businesses assess creditworthiness, from 19th century trade associations to contemporary data science mavens. Lucid and packed with fascinating detail, Creditworthy is an essential guide to the intersection of finance and surveillance., With Creditworthy , Josh Lauer has written a landmark book which will surely prove a must-read for historians, sociologists and economists interested in the history of credit in the United States., The book is a tour de force: it spans close to two centuries of detailed history...this engaging and richly documented book will no doubt be of great interest to scholars and students of consumer credit, credit surveillance, and financial identity in the United States., Consumer credit reporting is ubiquitous, but its pioneering role in the surveillance of consumers has been poorly understood--until now. Josh Lauer has dug deep into the historical sources and marshaled his findings into a rich and cohesive narrative that encompasses business dynamics, social norms, technology, and regulation. This book will become the indispensable source on the history of both consumer credit reporting and the surveillance society., Credit is an exchange made on a promise to pay at some future point. The provision of credit depends, therefore, on an assessment of whether or not to trust that promise. It's a risky business. Josh Lauer traces the history of credit scoring - a means of quantifying this risk - back to the 1840s.
