The Housing Boom and Bust |
The politics behind all this is another story full of strange twists. No punches are pulled when discussing politicians of either party, the financial dangers they created, or the distractions they created later to escape their own responsibility for what happened when the financial house of cards in the financial markets collapsed.
What to do, now that we are in the midst of an economic disaster, is yet another story—one whose ending we do not yet know, but one whose outlines and implications are explored to reveal some surprising and sobering lessons.

“An economic primer on the housing bubble, but more importantly, it is an examination of the ruling class's inability to leave well enough alone.”
Newsweek.com
“Sowell's account qualifies the standard story that greedy investment bankers and mortgage brokers caused the whole crisis.”
The Washington Times
“For anyone looking for a straightforward and honest discussion of the origins of our current crisis, informed by a deep understanding of both economics and politics, The Housing Boom and Bust is required reading.”
