Yet, the root and spark of the various financial reverberations initiated in the home mortgage finance market. My presentation will focus on …

It's Just Secured Credit: The Natural Law Case In Defense Of Some Forms Of Secured Credit, Brian M. Mccall

For decades scholars have been debating whether of not the institution of security can be explained and justified. After much discussion from varying points of view and hermeneutics, although some insights have been gained, the answer to the original question remains unresolved.

This reconciliation of these two strands of secured …
