The current approach to resolving sovereign debt crises does not work: sovereign debt restructurings come too late and do too little. Providing guidance for those who intend to take up reform, this book assesses the relative merits of various debt-restructuring proposals, especially in relation to the main deficiencies of the current nonsystem.
