Robert Mayer is a professor of political science at Loyola University. He holds a Ph.D. in political theory from Princeton University.
The subject is important, the research exhaustive, the argument
compelling, the writing is brisk and clear.... Quick Cash is a
major contribution to public discussions of subprime lending and
borrowing. It deserves to be on the reading list of everyone who
cares about recent developments in lending and borrowing.... Mayer
establishes himself as the expert on the subject of subprime
consumer credit, especially payday lending.

The early historical chapters, which focus on American in the
nineteenth and early twentieth century, are a tour de force in
original source material and factual documentation. There is not
currently a book or scholarly article that so carefully compiles an
American historical record of triple digit interest rate consumer
finance. This book will become an invaluable source for generations
of policy makers and historians to come. After all, this policy
problem is not going away. The problem will endure, and this book
will endure with it.
