Praise for "The Value of Debt"

"While most financial firms today are able to deliver integrated solutions, truly integrated financial advice remains a scarce commodity. With "The Value of Debt, " Tom Anderson takes an important, balanced, and clear step toward filling this void."
--Lyle LaMothe, Senior Partner at Left Hand Logic, LLC; former Head of Merrill Lynch U.S. Wealth Management

"There are thousands of books and articles that discuss balance sheet structure and design for corporations but virtually no one is applying an academic framework to shape the dialogue for individuals. I read "The Value of Debt" with fascination. Tom's ideas are simple but well grounded in theory. The book will benefit many, in particular, making debt a darling rather than a dirty word."
--Mahendra Gupta, Dean, Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis
