| dc.description.abstract | Hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes are recent natural disasters to have hit the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Compounding these natural disasters is one that is man-made: the Puerto Rican debt crisis. Current estimates are that Puerto Rico owes more than $73 billion to its bondholders. How did this happen? This Comment is an examination of the legislation designed to help Puerto Rico restructure its finances and reorganize and/or discharge its debt. | en_US |
