Dealing with economic failure is one of the persistent and
ubiquitous features of economic life. This volume brings together
international scholars from several academic disciplines - economic
and social history, legal history and law. They address a variety
of different aspects on economic failure ranging from case studies
on bankruptcy, insolvency, speculation, and strategies of coping
with economic and financial squeezes. One focus throughout the book
is on the in-betweens and the reciprocal impact of law and
practice. The timeframe covers the period from the late middle ages
to the present day. Irrespective of the temporal, spatial or
cultural differences a slow and tedious evolution from a
creditor-friendly to a more debtor-friendly perspective can be
perceived. The chances for a fresh start have slightly improved.
