Why do lenders time and again loan money to sovereign borrowers who promptly go bankrupt? When can this type of lending work? This title looks at one famous case - the debts and defaults of Philip II of Spain. Using detailed evidence collected from sixteenth-century archives, it examines the incentives and returns of lenders.
