Review Quotes: "For anyone tired of hype and rhetoric, at last a book that analyzes the growing effects of debt and bankruptcy on the middle class with rigor and data. Each chapter, crisply written and rich with analysis, lets readers draw their own conclusions." --John A. E. Pottow, University of Michigan Law School
