This unique book comprehensively reintroduces creditors" remedies and debtors" rights under state and federal, nonbankruptcy law. The coverage: includes commercial and consumer debt transactions; spans the full range of both new and traditional means of judicial and private enforcement; explores modern arrangements for structuring debt and security; focuses consistently on the core issues of defining who is liable for the debt and who has what rights in what property; and probes how debtor-creditor law applies and adapts, by public or private law, to modern transactional forms and circumstances and also to contemporary attitudes about the proper balance of debtors" and creditors" interests.
