Description
A decade after the Global Financial Crisis and Great Recession, developed economies continue to struggle under excessive household debt.
While exacerbating inequality and political unrest, this debt - when combined with wage stagnation and a shrinking welfare state - has played a key role in maintaining economic growth and allowing households faced with rising costs of living to make ends meet.
In Bankruptcy: The Case for Relief in an Economy of Debt, Joseph Spooner examines this economic model and finds it increasingly unsustainable.
In a call to action to reduce debt burden, he turns to bankruptcy law, which is uniquely situated as a mechanism of social insurance against the risks of a debt-dependent economy.
This book should be read by anyone interested in understanding the problem of consumer debt and how best to address it.
