Unjust Debts, How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal

Melissa B. Jacoby's "Unjust Debts" examines the American bankruptcy system, revealing how it exacerbates inequalities.

The book explores how the system disproportionately affects certain groups, including racial minorities, while offering advantages to corporations and municipalities.

Jacoby argues that bankruptcy systematically favors some filers, leading to unfair outcomes and widening the gap between the wealthy and the poor.

The book uses real-life examples to illustrate the complexities and injustices within the system, prompting a critical discussion about its impact on society.

Ultimately, "Unjust Debts" calls for reforms to create a more equitable and just bankruptcy system.
