In the 15 years preceding the financial crisis, United States regulators were primarily concerned with the expansion of home ownership A- particularly A"affordable housing.A" They showed zero concern with regard to the financial health of banks. In a conversational tone, Joseph N. Fried examines the factors leading to the financial crisis of 2007/8 and the mess it A’s put us in today. This is an opinionated book with an attitude. However, the author, a CPA and MBA, meticulously backs up his views with references, charts, and quotes.
