Iin Maxed Out James Scurlock takes us on a road trip that is sometimes
hysterical and often horrifying - from Las Vegas to London, from bible belt
to inner cities where the world's largest financial giants stalk their
next victims. Welcome to a cutlure populated by debt pirates, corporate
predators, human credit-card billboards, debt evangelists, mega
million-pound flats, and, of course, trillions of pounds of easy credit.
Combining shocking facts with tough examinations of individuals,
institutions, the government, and modern religion, Scurlock separates the
myths - "good debt" and "bad debt" -from harsh reality: corporations
partnering with collegues to target students; credit reports riddled with
errors thatwill never be fixed; and death, for many of those in trouble, as
the only way out. Maxed Out takes readers on a wickedly smart and
entertaining tour of what one interviewee calls "the last taboo".
