Book excerpt: A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Download or read book Creditworthy written by Josh Lauer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first consumer credit bureaus appeared in the 1870s and quickly amassed huge archives of deeply personal information. Today, the three leading credit bureaus are among the most powerful institutions in modern life—yet we know almost nothing about them. Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion are multi-billion-dollar corporations that track our movements, spending behavior, and financial status. This data is used to predict our riskiness as borrowers and to judge our trustworthiness and value in a broad array of contexts, from insurance and marketing to employment and housing. In Creditworthy, the first comprehensive history of this crucial American institution, Josh Lauer explores the evolution of credit reporting from its nineteenth-century origins to the rise of the modern consumer data industry. By revealing the sophistication of early credit reporting networks, Creditworthy highlights the leading role that commercial surveillance has played—ahead of state surveillance systems—in monitoring the economic lives of Americans. Lauer charts how credit reporting grew from an industry that relied on personal knowledge of consumers to one that employs sophisticated algorithms to determine a person's trustworthiness. Ultimately, Lauer argues that by converting individual reputations into brief written reports—and, later, credit ratings and credit scores—credit bureaus did something more profound: they invented the modern concept of financial identity. Creditworthy reminds us that creditworthiness is never just about economic "facts." It is fundamentally concerned with—and determines—our social standing as an honest, reliable, profit-generating person.

Download or read book Credit Reporting Systems and the International Economy written by Margaret J. Miller and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive review of credit reporting systems worldwide, including their institutional forms and evidence of their impact on financial markets. 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.

Download or read book 'Know Everything that Can Be Known About Everybody' written by Jonathan Weinberg and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable amount of our personal information is in the hands of corporations such as the Experian credit bureau; strangers to us, they make their money by collecting our data, processing it and selling it to others. Other firms make decisions shaping our lives on the basis of credit ratings the credit bureaus assign to us. Those companies have profound impact on our lives, but we are not their customers and have no control over them. Most of us assume that this state of being, in which we find ourselves at the mercy of firms whose business is to process and sell our information, is a new thing - a product of the Information Age, credit cards, and mainframe computers. In fact, it's much older than that. The story of the 21st-century credit bureau echoes that of the first credit bureau, initially known as the Mercantile Agency, founded before the Civil War. In a world in which such things were unknown, the Mercantile Agency sought to establish and maintain a file on every American who might ever seek commercial credit. Deeply controversial and deeply influential, the Mercantile Agency created an early, computer-free, version of the database system, maintaining and updating files on well over a million people by 1890. It and its rivals put in place a new, pervasive, network of social monitoring that became a central part of the nation's economic infrastructure. The early credit bureaus faced some of the same issues that the modern ones do, and inspired deep privacy fears. Modern privacy law didn't exist yet, and so privacy issues found their way into the law of credit bureaus in the context of defamation lawsuits. The resulting defamation case law displays remarkably modern concerns about the commoditization of information, and about the untrammeled distribution of information about individuals. It suggests possibilities in the evolution of the law that ultimately went unrealized.

This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's society, there are some persons who believe that getting a credit card means that they have the financial freedom to purchase anything they want while living a lavish lifestyle. Because these individuals have this misconception of credit card usage, they are the ones that usually find themselves in debt. There are those persons who incur a vast amount of debt because of matters beyond their control such as medical emergencies; on the other hand, quite a number of the U.S. population in is debt because of frivolous spending and living beyond their means. To make matters worse, these individuals are spending more than what they are saving, if they are saving any at all. Because of the reasons listed above, credit repair has now become an imperative staple in the U.S. economy. In fact, over the past few years, credit repair companies have been popping up everywhere. It's practically impossible to watch TV or surf the Internet without seeing one of those "Do you have bad credit?" advertisements. But credit repair isn't associated with bad spending only. There are some cases wherein identity theft and mistakes made by financial institutions have left persons scampering to find ways in which they can fix the mistakes that these situations have caused. If you don't work in the financial sector or you are not one of those persons that tries to keep up with everything going on in the world, you may have no clue as to what credit repair is. Actually, it's a process that is quite simply to understand. Credit repair is defined as the process of working alongside creditors and the credit bureaus to make improvements to your credit report, which will in turn aid in improving your credit score. This process can be done by a legitimate agency that specializes in credit repair, or you can do it on your own. Generally, the process includes identifying and amending any erroneous information on your credit report, or looking over all your financial statements and figuring out a way to lower or completely eradicate your debt. If you are finding it difficult to get competitive interest rates when applying for a loan because of a bad credit report, you'll find credit repair very beneficial. What is it that you will learn from this Book? How will it be of any help to you? For starters, you will learn what credit actually is and how you can manage it without running into debt. You will then be introduced to credit repair options available to you; learn how to dispute a credit report; and also learn how to increase your credit score. Once you have the correct tools in hand, you will be able to repair your credit and raise your credit score to a number that won't embarrass you or prevent you from getting a loan. Remember, after your credit has been repaired you should still continue to effectively manage your finances, as you don't want to end up in debt again.
