The ambition of the Chapter 11 system is enormous. Failing businesses can file a petition in bankruptcy, give themselves some breathing room, and take a final chance to save their businesses. Large or small, desperately sliding into collaspe or merely in serious trouble, a company can attempt to reorganzie or, if necessary, can arrange a more orderly burial. This book is about that system... This is a small book that tours a large system, guided on the one hand by the statutory structure and on the other by how the system operates in practice. This book sacrifices coverage of every possible twist in favor of a more coherent overview that exposes some of the tensions, the contradictions, and the genius that comprise Chapter 11. Whatever else may be learned from this book, I hope these pages give a sense of just how interesting the world of business failure and rebirth can be - Elizabeth Warren.
