Bankruptcy — the philosophy and the process

Bankruptcy exists because every serious legal tradition has recognized that people who cannot pay their debts are not always criminals — sometimes they are human beings who encountered conditions larger than their resources. The process is a formal acknowledgment that the debt cannot be satisfied and that life must continue. Reason holds that using a legitimate protection designed for exactly your situation is not a moral failure.
