A. Durkin, Gregory Elliehausen. Truth in lending : theory, history, and a
way forward. Oxford University Press, 2010. KF1040.D87
2010 This
book is a guide to the purposes, strengths, and weaknesses of disclosures as
consumer protections in financial transactions such as loans, deposits, and
consumer leases. It focuses on the federal Truth in Lending Act, but
also covers a variety of other federal disclosure statutes designed to
protect consumers in their financial relationships. It also
examines the psychological, sociological, historical, and legal traditions
that go into fully understanding what has led to the demand for better
disclosures. |
