If you want to know what happened with the housing boom and bust, my guess is that you'd be hard to find a better resource than Thomas Sowell's new book,
The Housing Boom and Bust.He was recently interviewed by Peter Robinson on "
Uncommon Knowledge." It's a helpful intro to the book and to the issues:
- The economics of the housing boom
- The politics of the housing boom
- The origins and unique features of the housing bust
- The pitfalls of New Deal thinking
- The economic proposals of the Obama administration
