The Real Exits: Commercial Solutions to a Commercial Problem

Six commercial or procedural mechanisms by which people actually escape, sidestep, or compel performance from the modern American legal system: extreme wealth, powerful friends, formal expatriation, multiple citizenships, creative trusts (including the entertainment industry's standard loan-out structure), and enforcing the contract through § 1983, qui tam, FOIA, and the Tax Court. The theological exits don't work. The working exits are commercial — and that fact validates Beers's diagnosis more powerfully than the treatises do.
