*CREDIT cards, *SOCIALISTS
Abstract

In ''Looking Backwards,'' Edward Bellamy's 1888 novel about a socialist utopia more than a century hence, citizens are issued ''credit cards'' entitling them to shares of the national wealth. In today's dystopian reality, people use a different sort of card to buy stuff on the Internet. Yet according to Robert Manning, a historian and author of ''Credit Card Nation,'' plastic remains ''one of the top 10 innovations in the post-World War II period.'' Even if it owes its ubiquity, in part, to a New York businessman named Frank X. McNamara, who forgot to bring cash to a lunch meeting. In 1950, McNamara introduced a cardboard charge card. He called it the Diner's Club. PAPER OR PLASTIC? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
