In the young nation, Americans who were little interested in the sons and daughters of their last king, George III, developed a love-hate relationship with Queen Victoria, his granddaughter, that lasted all her sixty-four years on the throne, ending only with her death in the first weeks of the last century. Victoria's long reign encompassed much of the time in which the young United States was growing up. The responses of Americans toward Victoria reveal not only what they thought of her (and her husband) as people and as monarchs, but reflect their own ambitions, confidence, smugness, insecurities - and sense of loss. Parting from England brought a surge of pride, but it also carried with it an unanticipated price. American encounters with Victoria as person and as symbol evoke the costs of relinquishing a history, a tradition, a ceremonial texture. A professedly egalitarian society found itself instantly without some of the familiar associations it valued, and Americans recognized the deficiency. Often, as a matter of pride, they left that realization unspoken. Victorian Yankees at Queen Victoria's Court is, then, a selective lens into nineteenth-century America -- an offbeat way to look at a people and a nation possessed with unruly energy and burgeoning into a wary greatness"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aNational characteristics, American$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAmericans$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign public opinion, American$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aAmericans$xHistory 676 $a327.41073 700 $aWeintraub$b Stanley$f1929-$0167775 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461303903321 996 $aVictorian Yankees at Queen Victoria's court$92049863 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03753oam 2200565Ma 450 001 9910455535703321 005 20210205015327.0 010 $a0-262-27243-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000771231 035 $a(EBL)3338896 035 $a(OCoLC)560589229 035 $a(OCoLC)560589229$z(OCoLC)253931554$z(OCoLC)427510798$z(OCoLC)646747538$z(OCoLC)861510373$z(OCoLC)889389044$z(OCoLC)961534687$z(OCoLC)962602019$z(OCoLC)966211015$z(OCoLC)988417732$z(OCoLC)991943983$z(OCoLC)1037498265$z(OCoLC)1037911662$z(OCoLC)1038637673$z(OCoLC)1045490398$z(OCoLC)1055326287$z(OCoLC)1081231317$z(OCoLC)1083551564$z(OCoLC)1085906642 035 $a(OCoLC-P)560589229 035 $a(MaCbMITP)5281 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3338896 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000771231 100 $a20040629d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPaying with plastic $ethe digital revolution in buying and borrowing /$fDavid S.

Paying with Plastic is the definitive source on an industry that has revolutionized the way we borrow and spend. More than a history book, Paying with Plastic delivers an entertaining discussion of the impact of an industry that epitomizes the notion of two-sided markets: those in which two or more customer groups receive value only if all sides are actively engaged. New to this second edition, the two-sided market discussion provides useful insight into the implications of these market dynamics for cardholder rewards, merchant interchange fees, and card acceptance. 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. 606 $aCredit cards$zUnited States 606 $aBank credit cards$zUnited States 606 $aElectronic funds transfers$zUnited States 606 $aElectronic commerce$zUnited States 606 $aConsumer credit$zUnited States 610 $aECONOMICS/Finance 610 $aBUSINESS/Business Technology 615 0$aCredit cards 615 0$aBank credit cards 615 0$aElectronic funds transfers 615 0$aElectronic commerce 615 0$aConsumer credit 676 $a332.7/65/0973 700 $aEvans$b David S$g(David Sparks),$f1954-$0119437 701 $aSchmalensee$b Richard$0121363 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455535703321 996 $aPaying with plastic$91932112 997 $aUNINA
