Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet its impact extends across the totality of human existence; from ecological devastation to economic advancement, from cultural transformation to political change, through to a myriad of other themes. This edited volume of eleven contributions by historians, anthropologists and social and political scientists explores aspects of the social history and anthropology of the motor-vehicle in Africa. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum series ;$vv. 13. 606 $aTransportation, Automotive$xSocial aspects$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotor vehicles$xSocial aspects$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aAfrica$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTransportation, Automotive$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMotor vehicles$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a388.3/40960904 686 $a15.80$2bcl 701 $aGewald$b Jan-Bart$0692713 701 $aLuning$b Sabine$0970017 701 $aWalraven$b Klaas van$f1958-$0899809 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458973503321 996 $aThe speed of change$92204911 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03835nam 22005894a 450 001 9910807453303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-262-27243-1 024 3 $a9780262050777 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 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPaying with plastic $ethe digital revolution in buying and borrowing /$fDavid S.

More than a history book,Paying with Plasticdelivers 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 changesincluding the massive consolidation brought about by bank mergers, the rise of the debit card, and the emergence of e-commercethat 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 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$0121363 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807453303321 996 $aPaying with plastic$93928919 997 $aUNINA
