As record numbers of bankruptcy cases cause concern that more and more debtors are shirking their responsibilities, Gross offers a new perspective on the problem. In this important book, she provides an accessible introduction to and evaluation of the federal bankruptcy system; places legal issues of bankruptcy in their social context; explores the often conflicting interests of those involved; and suggests an innovative and humanitarian approach to bankruptcy.
