Payment Systems (1972) by Tom Lupton ? Sold by Crappy Old Books Ever wondered how your money actually moves behind the scenes? Before digital wallets, fintech startups, and contactless taps, there was Payment Systems ? Tom Lupton?s sober, satisfyingly dense deep-dive into the machinery of money as it chugged along in 1970s Britain. Originally published by Penguin Books in 1972, this classic (yes, we?re calling it that) unpacks the world of cheques, clearing houses, giro systems, and banking bureaucracy with all the excitement of a man who has truly lived the thrill of direct debits and interbank settlements. But don?t be fooled?beneath its grey exterior is a fascinating, well-researched window into the quiet revolution of financial infrastructure, written for professionals, academics, and curious masochists alike. Condition: Structurally sound, mildly yellowed, possibly contains traces of tea rings and institutional neglect. Smells faintly of 1970s boardrooms and pessimism. Crappy Old Books: Proudly selling the kinds of titles that libraries deaccessioned with a sigh.
