Rome to Bankruptcy Costs Arm and Leg in Ancient Times
A financial column compares ancient Rome penalties for bankruptcy with modern U.S. costs and explores who actually files. It cites a study: in 1968 Americans filed nine consumer bankruptcies for every business petition, noting typical causes as unemployment and medical debt.
