Leading scholars, journalists, and practitioners will discuss the causes and consequences of state insolvency, with particular focus on the recent proposal to allow states to restructure their debts through bankruptcy. Panels will consider the politics of state insolvency; the pros, cons, and mechanics of amending the Bankruptcy Code to allow states to file for bankruptcy; the lessons and implications from public default in municipalities, states, and nations; and the economics of state insolvency.
