House of Cards: The True Story of How a 26-Year-Old

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickerson, David Ellis, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, An original and hilarious memoir by an ex greeting card writer, virgin fundamentalist, and "This American Life" contributor that chronicles how, in the belly of the social expression industry, he learned to love, thrive, and finally feel comfortable in his own skin. David Dickerson's dream is to write greeting cards Valentine's Day, sympathy, and holiday cards. Greeting cards offer him the chance to indulge his gifted obsession with words, puns, and humor. But when he manages to win a coveted slot at Hallmark, he soon discovers his own limited life experience has left him unprepared for sentiments he writes about in his cards: As a fundamentalist-raised, twenty-seven-year-old virgin social misfit, he knows that his world is decidedly circumscribed. In "House of Cards," Dickerson tells of his time at Hallmark and how the experience and the cast of characters he meets there open his eyes to a much larger and emotionally rich world. In comic and sometimes cringe-inducing detail, he chronicles his bumpy journey to maturity, from straitlaced evangelical Christian to (relatively) modern single guy. As Dickerson navigates supervisors and colleagues who don't understand him, he learns what it takes to connect with this new lot of personalities and how to write funny lines that resonate with the heart of America. Along the way he confronts his past, his beliefs, his relationships, even his virginity, as he ponders whether his struggle to stay true to the life he knows is worth it. Endearing and idiosyncratic, "House of Cards "is the very human story of one man who, step by step, stumble by stumble, embarrassment by embarrassment, finds his place in the world.

Collateral Damaged: The Marketing of Consumer Debt to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Geisst, Charles R., PUBLISHER: Bloomberg Press, Sometime in the s and s, the use of credit cards, which had begun as a convenience, began to grow into an addiction. "Collateral Damaged: The Marketing of Consumer Debt to America" explains how a nation of savers became a nation of consumers and how Wall Street used consumers' addiction to spending to create the "toxic securities" that threaten to bring about the collapse of the global economy. Geisst looks at the policy implications of the credit crisis and describes how the United States can get its fiscal house in order: Debt must be brought back onto the issuer's balance sheet. Investors must have the assurance of recourse to the debt issuer's own funds, rather than the empty promise of a valueless document. Regulators must be educated to know at least as much about financial engineering as the structured finance instruments' architects do. This book connects the dots from consumer spending to credit cards to home-equity loans and back to credit cards.
