Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "An eye-opening read in the school of Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel & Dimed . shines a bright light on the economy's darker side." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)Drive through a low-income neighborhood and you're likely to see streets lined with pawnshops, check cashers, rent-to-own store…s, payday and tax refund lenders, auto title pawns, and buy-here-pay-here used car lots. We're awash in "alternative financial services" directed at the poor and those with credit problems. Howard Karger describes this world as an economic Wild West, where just about any financial scheme that's not patently illegal is tolerated.Taking a hard look at this fringe economy, Karger shows that what seem to be small, independent storefront operations are actually part of a fully-formed parallel economy dominated by a handful of well-financed corporations, subject to little or no oversight, with increasingly strong ties to mainstream financial institutions. It is a hidden world, Karger writes, where a customer's economic fate is sealed with a handshake, a smile, and a stack of fine print documents that would befuddle many attorneys.Filled with heartbreaking stories of real people trapped in perpetual debt, Shortchanged exposes the deceptive practices that allow these businesses to prey on people when they are most vulnerable. Karger reveals the many ways this industry has run amok, ruining countless people's lives, and shows that it's not just the poor but, more and more, maxed-out middle class consumers who fall prey to these devious schemes. Balancing compassion with a realistic awareness of the risks any business faces in working with an economically distressed clientele, Karger details hard-headed, practical recommendations for reforming this predatory industry. Made up of pawnshops, payday lenders, check cashers, credit card companies and the like, the fringe economy entices vulnerable consumers into an economic netherworld of high interest rates and ever-increasing debt. This book examines the factors behind the fringe economy's rise and investigates the sleazy practices that result in phenomenal growth for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
