SELF-FULLFILLING PROPHECY OF DEBT
This book does an outstanding job of delivering the message that Americans are tapped out of money. From record setting personal bankruptcies to U.S. government's pension for borrowing, it is very easy to see that we as a populis and as a nation are on the edge of a new financial depression. An Excellent Read for Anyone interested in the Truth. - Mason Johnson, President, www.tomorrowsgold.com

A Federally-Funded Tautology?
The federal government funded this "empirical" study of the "choices" available to those who have filed for bankruptcy. Landmark Study of Consumer Bankruptcy in the U.S.
As We Forgive Our Debtors is a result of a landmark study of bankrupt debtors in the 1980s.The authors, three of the leading experts on bankruptcy in the United States, focus on who files for bankruptcy. Contrary to widespread myth, most bankrupts are not irresponsiblespendthrifts who could afford to pay their debts.Instead, they cross allincome and occupational levels.What they do have in common is they haveinsurmountable financial problems resulting from crises in their lives,including divorce, job loss, and medical problems.Read more

This book is a basic one with good general facts, but many of the bankruptcy laws have changed since 1994 when the book was published.

Intensely practical workbook for when things are going downhill
If small business bankruptcy is on your mind, you may be experiencing a few sleepless nights. Rather than reaching for the sleeping pills, stay up with this clear, brief and sympathetic introduction to bankruptcy laws and how they function. The authors, attorneys Wes and Wendell Schollander, walk the small-business owner through a typical bankruptcy, pointing out the traps to avoid. You do not need to read it from cover to cover since most chapters stand alone. Although that results in some repetition, we recommend this book both to small business owners in a financial jam or those who are worried they might be, and to anyone who wants to understand bankruptcy basics without paying for a single billable hour of attorney time. ...
