Bankruptcy : The Case for Relief in an Economy of Debt Hardback
by Joseph (London School of Economics and Political Science) Spooner
Part of the International Corporate Law and Financial Market Regulation series
Hardback
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.
