Book 2: Give Me Some Credit
My second book, GIVE ME SOME CREDIT, charts the rise of the credit reporting system from 1899 to the present, uncovering its transformation from a private detective service into a modern algorithmic scoring empire.
The book, under contract with Farrar, Straus & Giroux, uncovers the credit industry’s historical connections to mortgage underwriting, the Red Scare, the military, and more — and also traces the forgotten attempts to resist to the system.
