“Maxed Out!”

 

Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders is an eye-opening book by James D. Scurlock.

Read the online excerpt for an excellent summary of the state of the American debtor economy. One conclusion, “death, for many of those in trouble, is the only way out,” is enough to make this a must read book.

The book is also available as a documentary on DVD.
