14 International Review of Law & Economics 103 (March, 1994) |

When an insolvent individual debtor enters bankruptcy liquidation, she surrenders her remaining assets in exchange for a discharge, wiping out the unpaid balance of her debts.

America is in the midst of a cultural war. On one side are those of us who want to keep our nation rooted in Judeo-Christian morality. On the other, are those who would discard this traditional morality in favor of a radical moral relativism. It is nothing less than a struggle for the soul of our nation.

Wealth fascinates Americans. Alexis de Tocqueville said in 1835: The love of wealth is . . . at the bottom of all that the Americans do.
