False Hopes & Alchemy

Another boat book....Brilliantly researched and tightly argued, Our Lot reveals the untold story of the housing crisis through the eyes of the victims and villians that created it.

 

It's a sobering account of the origins of our current mortgage crisis. Katz methodically, and with great precision, traces the roots of homeownership in American society. Leaving few stones unturned, the book provides an incisive analysis of the rational and speculative decisions that have made America so susceptible to the twists and turns of the housing industry.

 

The book is a timely historical account, and its lessons are clear and penetrating for the contemporary era.
