From Booklist:

These Opposing Viewpoints titles confirm the series’ enduring reputation as one of the top choices for students seeking substantive, mind-broadening introductions to complex societal issues. Each title follows the series’ template of thematically organized article excerpts, accompanied by guiding questions and periodical bibliographies of additional reading suggestions, while graphs and political cartoons offer some visual interest. As always, the editors have chosen selections from reputable, wide-ranging sources that represent highly engaging and sometimes provocative views. Debt explores both the factors that drive overspending for individuals and governments, as well as possible solutions. Most articles predate the recent economic collapse, but many further reading suggestions were published in 2009. These titles will equip students with subtle, nuanced perspectives on the specific issues, even as they serve as a reminder to base personal opinion on informed research and debate. Grades 8-12. --Gillian Engberg
