@JasonNichols It was in this book. But honestly, It's probably not worth the digging. I didn't lose much info from the page at the time. ;) http://www.amazon.com/Macroeconomics-Institutions-Instability-Financial-System/dp/0199655790

You may want to try looking into junk bonds as this could be another term for them. Those are bonds below investment grade, they are risky but very high yield debt. You can read more on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-yield_debt).
