【 摘 要 】

Credit has not only allowed households to anticipate the consumption of various goods, but has also increased their vulnerability to personal or contextual events that affect their financial stability and solvency. As in the past, bankruptcy law provides a release for both individuals and households excessively burdened with debt. But as in the past, bankruptcy law continues to reproduce in its legal provisions and enforcement some aspects of the stigmatizing and censorious attitude that for centuries has accompanied bankrupts. Indeed, it has used the stigma itself to enhance its effectiveness and discourage the widespread use of this mechanism, seeking to preserve a behavioral pattern based on honoring contracts.
