520    The France of Balzac's day was an unforgiving place for 
       borrowers. Each year, thousands of debtors found 
       themselves arrested for commercial debts. Those who wished
       to escape debt imprisonment through bankruptcy sacrificed 
       their honor-losing, among other rights and privileges, the
       ability to vote, to serve on a jury, or even to enter the 
       stock market. Arguing that French Revolutionary and 
       Napoleonic legislation created a conception of commercial 
       identity that tied together the debtor's social, moral, 
       and physical person, In the Red and in the Black examines 
       the history of debt imprisonment and bankruptcy as a means
       of understanding the changing logic of commercial debt. 
       Following the practical application of these laws 
       throughout the early nineteenth century, Erika Vause 
       traces how financial failure and fraud became legally 
       disentangled. The idea of personhood established in the 
       Revolution's aftermath unraveled over the course of the 
       century owing to a growing penal ideology that stressed 
       the state's virtual monopoly over incarceration and to 
       investors' desire to insure their financial risks. This 
       meticulously researched study offers a novel 
       conceptualization of how central "the economic" was to new
       understandings of self, state, and the market. Telling a 
       story deeply resonant in our own age of ambivalence about 
       the innocence of failures by financial institutions and 
       large-scale speculators, Vause reveals how legal 
       personalization and depersonalization of debt was 
       essential for unleashing the latent forces of capitalism 
       itself.
