- Revolution
at the Checkout Counter : The Explosion of the Bar Code, by
Stephen A. Brown, Harvard University Press. The Universal Product
Code (U.P.C.)--a small rectangle of black and white bars--adorns
virtually every retail item we purchase. Yet twenty-five years ago, the
U.P.C. was a mere kernel of an idea shared by a small cadre of
manufacturing and chain store executives. Here Stephen Brown, the legal
counsel of those pioneering executives, traces its origin and evolution.
The development of the U.P.C. illustrates the process of setting
industry standards without government intervention and shows how systems
of complementary technologies evolve. The economic consequences of the
U.P.C. are investigated in an introduction by Professor John T. Dunlop
and Jan Rivkin.
