In The Card Game, a follow-up to the "Secret History of the Credit Card" and a joint project with The New York Times, Bergman and the Times talk to industry insiders, lobbyists, politicians and consumer advocates as they square off over attempts to reform the way the industry has done business for decades."-- Frontline website.
