Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le crédit à la consommation a mauvaise réputation. Accordé à des taux souvent élevés, il apparaît surtout contraire à la politique du crédit désormais nationalisé. Les priorités vont au financement de la production et non à la satisfaction des besoins des ménages. Toutefois, en 1953, la Reconstruction s’achève. L’objectif de l’industrie française n’est plus seulement de produire mais de vendre. Or, le pouvoir d’achat des Français reste faible. Soucieux d’accroître leurs débouchés, les industriels se mobilisent pour créer des organismes de crédit en partenariat avec de grandes banques. Le ministère des Affaires économiques les suit pour faire de ce crédit un moyen de relancer la croissance. Encore s’agit-il d’en assainir la distribution. Car, face aux besoins et à l’absence de réglementation, le « crédit noir », usuraire, prospère. C’est précisément à la construction du marché du crédit à la consommation dans les années 1950 et 1960 que ce livre est consacré. Pourquoi la constitution de grands établissements financiers a-t-elle été favorisée ? Comment les nouveaux prêteurs, Sofinco créé en 1951 et Cetelem en 1953, ont-ils évalué les risques du crédit aux particuliers ? La réglementation a-t-elle permis de lutter contre l’usure ? En revenant sur les origines du crédit à la consommation en France, cet ouvrage permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux de l’accès au crédit qui, à l’époque, soulevaient déjà des questions d’une étonnante actualité

"Credit reporting is a critical part of the financial system in most developed economies but is often weak or absent in developing countries. It addresses a fundamental problem of credit markets: asymmetric information between borrowers and lenders that can lead to adverse selection and moral hazard. The heart of a credit report is the record it provides of an individual's or a firm's payment history, which enables lenders to evaluate credit risk more accurately and lower loan processing time and costs. Credit reports also strengthen borrower discipline, since nonpayment with one institution results in sanctions with others." "This book provides the first comprehensive review of credit reporting systems worldwide and documents the rapid growth in the industry. It offers empirical and theoretical evidence of the impact of credit reporting on financial markets, using examples from both developed and developing economies. Credit reporting, it shows, significantly contributes to predicting default risk of potential borrowers, which promotes increased lending activity. The book also covers the role of public policy in the development of credit reporting initiatives, including the role of public credit registries managed by central banks; and the role of legal, regulatory, and institutional factors in supporting credit reporting."--Jacket.

Into the Red explores the emergence of a credit card market in post-Soviet Russia during the formative period from 1988 to 2007. In her analysis, Alya Guseva locates the dynamics of market building in the social structure, specifically the creative use of social networks. Until now, network scholars have overlooked the role that networks play in facilitating exchange in mass markets because they have exclusively focused on firm-to-firm or person-to-person ties. Into the Red demonstrates how networks that combine individuals and organizations help to build markets for mass consumption. The book is situated on the cutting edge of emerging interdisciplinary research, linking multiple layers of analysis with institutional evolution. Using an intricate framework, Guseva chronicles both the creation of a credit card market and the making of a mass consumer. These processes are placed in the context of the ongoing restructuring in postcommunist Russia and the expansion of Western markets and ideologies through the rest of the world.

Produced under the auspices of an EU-funded Marie Curie research programme, this volume analyses vulnerability in European private law and scrutinises consumer protection in credit and investments in the context of the recent turmoil in financial markets and EU harmonisation initiatives in the area. It explores key issues such as responsible lending, the disclosure of information, consumer confidence, the regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank depositors. The chapters emanate from the 'Consumer Protection in Europe: Theory and Practice' duo colloquium which explored consumer protection in Europe in its theoretical and practical dimensions. These topics are even more relevant today given the passage of the Consumer Rights Directive, the appointment of an Expert Group on a common frame of reference, the Green Paper on European Contract Law and the ongoing deliberations surrounding the Common European Sales Law.
