Product Description

Doug Boyd has spent ten years sacrificing his social life and dignity to his accounting job, for little reward. So when his boss pressures him to ignore some suspicious numbers on a high-profile audit, he refuses to bend the rules. Ignoring his boss's veiled threats, he goes on a weekend camping trip with three old college buddies--and narrowly escapes a hit man.

Now Doug and his three friends--an FBI agent on the edge, a college economics instructor and conspiracy theorist, and a slick real estate broker--are caught in a tangled conspiracy that spawned the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. A shadowy collective of representatives from the nation's most powerful financial companies and government agencies is colluding to "erase" the massive economic mistakes that caused the credit crunch and collapse of the recent housing bubble. Doug and his friends must fight to gather the evidence and blow the cover on the conspiracy before it ruins what's left of their careers and their lives.

Subprime Mortgages: America's Latest Boom and Bust

Author : Edward M. Gramlich Edition : 1st Number of Pages : 120 Publisher : Urban Institute Press

Product Description

Over the past decade, a new mortgage market offering loans at low interest rates and for little or no money down has given low-income people an opportunity to pursue the American dream of homeownership. The resulting wave in home buying promised to stabilize neighborhoods and families, boost the economy, and reduce crime. In many ways, the optimists were correct, but now, less than fifteen years later, the subprime mortgage market is collapsing, threatening to take the rest of the housing sector along with it.
Subprime Mortgages: America's Latest Boom and Bust analyzes how the subprime market emerged, why it is in crisis, and how we can reform public policy to avert disaster. An attendant examination of the rental market also offers recommendations for shoring up what may be the best housing option for some families.
