Reforming Collateral Laws to Expand Access to Financeby Heywood Fleisig
World Bank Publications 2006; US$ 9.99Most readers, especially those with car loans or home mortgages, know about "collateral"--property that the lender can take away from the borrower in the event that the borrower defaults. In low/middle income countries, it is understood that conservative lenders exclude firms from credit markets with their excessive collateral requirements. Usually, this is because only some property is acceptable as collateral: large holdings of urban real estate and, sometimes, new motor vehicles. Microenterprises, SMEs, and the poor have little of this property but they do have an array of productive assets that could easily be harnessed to serve as collateral. It is only the legal framework which prevents firms from using these assets to secure... more...
Seize Your Powerby Lemberg Sergei
MobileReference.com 2010; US$ 3.99About the AuthorSergei Lemberg is a nationally recognized expert in fair debt collection practices, lemon law, and other consumer law. IntroductionAmerica is in a debt collection crisis. Consumers owe more debt than ever, have fewer assets than ever with which to pay it, and debt collectors and their lawyers are getting more aggressive by the day in trying to collect it. Analysts will be pontificating for years, but it wasn't that long ago when on paper at least our assets painted a rosy picture. The stock market was booming, home values were skyrocketing, 401(k)s were going through the ceiling, and everyone believed there was no end in sight. People weren't saving money, and were spending more than they made. Predatory... more...

Collateral Knowledgeby Annelise Riles
University of Chicago Press 2011; US$ 27.50Who are the agents of financial regulation? Is good (or bad) financial governance merely the work of legislators and regulators? Here Annelise Riles argues that financial governance is made not just through top-down laws and policies but also through the daily use of mundane legal techniques such as collateral by a variety of secondary agents, from legal technicians and retail investors to financiers and academics and even computerized trading programs. Drawing upon her ten years of ethnographic fieldwork in the Japanese derivatives market, Riles explores the uses of collateral in the financial markets as a regulatory device for stabilizing market... more...
Die Fusion von Bürgschaft und Garantieby Christian Förster
Mohr Siebeck 2010; US$ 95.44Hauptbeschreibung Anders als die Bürgschaft ist die nicht minder bedeutsame Garantie rechtsordnungsübergreifend bislang nahezu ungeregelt und muss zunächst dogmatisch ausgeformt werden. Selbst dann jedoch bleibt es bei nur schwer zu lösenden Abgrenzungsschwierigkeiten, insbesondere da sich bereits seit längerer Zeit das geschriebene und das tatsächlich praktizierte Recht der Personalsicherheiten voneinander entfernen. Christian Förster schlägt einen neuen Weg vor: die Fusion von Bürgschaft und Garantie als einheitlicher Tatbestand. Auf dessen Grundlage sind Differenzierungen nur mehr dort nötig, wo sich tatsächlich rechtserhebliche Unterschiede ergeben. Eine eingehende Ausarbeitung auf breiter rechtsvergleichender Grundlage zeigt, dass sich... more...
