>Your credit score is social credit. Your LinkedIn endorsements are social credit. Your Uber passenger rating, Instagram engagement metrics, Amazon reviews, and Airbnb host status are all social credit systems that track you, score you, and reward you based on your behavior. Social credit, in its original economic definition, means distributing industry profits to consumers to increase purchasing power. But the term has evolved far beyond economics. Today, it describes any kind of metric that tracks individual behavior, assigns scores based on that behavior, and uses those scores to determine access to services, opportunities, or social standing.

No surprise there. Of course cash can still defeat a credit score, provided you have enough to buy your way around a bad score. Cash is still king in America. Might not be that way for much longer.

People like to talk about their credit scores (for some reason). The "truly rich" don't have a credit score.. Because they don't ever use credit for anything.

The credit score thing is underappreciated. It didn't really exist before 1960's because borrowing money was so rare.

You used to put minimum of 50% down on a house and go to your local community bank to ask for a loan for the rest. You went to high school with your lenders children and he went to high school with your employer.
