"Shortchanged" takes an uncompromising look at the corporate vultures that prey on America's working class. Made up of pawnshops, payday lenders, check cashers, credit card companies and the like, the fringe economy entices vulnerable consumers into an economic netherworld of high interest rates and ever-increasing debt. The book examines the factors behind the fringe economy's rise -- stagnant wages, rising numbers of working poor, and the 12 million U.S. households without bank accounts -- and investigates the sleazy practices -- instant credit, cash-for-your-title loans, predatory mortgage lending, E-Z home equity loans -- that result in phenomenal growth for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer. Powerful analysis is combined with moving personal stories of the mothers, fathers, and families whose lives have been put on the line for the perpetuation of this economy. Ruthless, compelling, outrageous, and often enraging, "Shortchanged" puts the spotlight on the shady side of America's economic underbelly.
Although there was no single cause for the financial crisis of 2008, fundamental flaws in the U.S. housing finance market certainly contributed to the near collapse of this nation's financial system. There is broad bipartisan agreement that given their role in the financial crisis, government housing policies need to be reevaluated. In response, the Obama administration has recommended reducing the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in housing finance, with the ultimate goal of replacing these government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) with a private market that would become the primary source of mortgage credit and bear the burden of risk.In The Future of Housing Finance, Martin Neil Baily and his contributors discuss the issues and options that policymakers face as they reassess the government's role in the U.S. residential mortgage market. Will Congress agree, and if so, how fast will it move? Can the already weak housing market survive without some kind of an explicit government backstop? Who will protect consumers against risk? Will thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages become a thing of the past? Can consensus be reached? Specific topics addressed include the introduction of a new system that reduces the incentives for excessive risk taking and includes a limited government role in providing credit guarantees for qualifying mortgage securities; the gradual withdrawal of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from the housing finance system; new approaches to regulating mortgage securitization, with the primary goal of financial stability; and the introduction of government-backed guarantees through institutional structures designed to limit moral hazard.The volume also includes remarks by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the Obama administration's strategy for reforming the nation's housing finance markets and a keynote address delivered by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan.
This study provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of the questions of out-of-court debt restructuring from a policy-oriented perspective. The starting point of the analysis is given by the World Bank Principles for Effective Insolvency and Creditor Rights Systems.The study offers an overview of out-of-court restructuring, which is not seen as fundamentally opposed to formal insolvency procedures. Actually, the study contemplates different restructuring techniques as forming a continuum to the treatment of financial difficulties. Thus, from the purely contractual - or informal - arrangements for debt rescheduling between the debtor and its creditors, to the fully formal reorganization or liquidation procedures, there are numerous intermediate solutions. In the study, these solutions are identified by the terms of enhanced procedures -where the contractual arrangements are supported by norms or principles for workouts; and hybrid procedures -where the contractual arrangements are supported by the intervention of the courts or an administrative authority. The study discusses the advantages and disadvantages of all the debt restructuring techniques, and concludes, in this regard, that a legal system may contain a number of options - a menu - that can cover different sets of circumstances. In the end, the law may offer a toolbox with very different instruments that the parties may use depending on the specific facts of the case.A substantial part of the study is devoted to the analysis of the enabling regulatory environment for out-of-court restructuring. It is evident that debt restructuring does not operate in a vacuum: in fact, the general legal system influences and to a certain extent determines the possibilities for debt restructuring in any given jurisdiction. The study provides a checklist that can be used to examine the features of a legal system that bear a direct influence on debt restructuring activities.The different characteristics of informal restructurings, and of enhanced and hybrid debt restructurings are covered by the study. The different approaches to debt restructuring aim at combining the advantages of an informal approach with the advantages of formal procedures: especially, the existence of a moratorium on creditor actions and the binding effects of creditor agreements concluded within the insolvency process.
