Blurb

"In this compelling and important book, Chrystin Ondersma makes the case for when abolishing debt is justified--and why. Essential reading."--Patricia A. McCoy, Liberty Mutual Insurance Professor, Boston College Law School

"Ondersma's visionary human rights framework--new to the field of debt studies--transcends narrowly technical solutions to the debt crisis, and instead asks what we need to change in order to bring about the world in which we want to live. A highly original and valuable work."--Nathalie Martin, Frederick M. Hart Chair in Consumer and Clinical Law, University of New Mexico

"A passionate, deeply humane treatise on the maddening inequities of debt in the United States. Chrystin Ondersma understands that debt is not just numbers or interest rates or credit policy; debt is human beings, making unnavigable choices about healthcare, shelter, groceries, their very survival, in a system that has been built to profit from their need and from their pain. A rousing and persuasive argument that the problem of debt in America is a human rights crisis."--Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger
