This specifically concerns the shamanistic theory of David Lewis-Williams. In response to Northover,...

It also describes how debtors use and abuse Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy proceedings, and how both debtors and creditors have increasingly benefited from the workout-facilitating services of a private sector initiative recently made available to most Americans - the various Consumer Credit Counseling Services affiliated with the National Foundation for Consumer Credit. In this fascinating and well-written work, Williams analyzes the positive and negative results of collection, as well as the results of debtor response.
