parallels to current recession August 25, 2008
The current recession has been driven in no small part by mortgage defaults. With this in mind, the book from 1969 takes on a twist when reading it nowadays. It looks at the difficulties poor people encounter in finding affordable housing. One solution, mooted by the book, is for new homes. All very commendable. After all, who advocates homelessness?
Yet from today's perspective, it was reasons like this, for increasing home ownership amongst all segments of society, that helps propel housing prices to unnatural heights. From which they have fallen, with much fallout.
