Summary
"Alyssa Katz takes a fresh, compelling look at America's real estate mania. She finds the roots of our current crisis in several decades of government social engineering aimed at making home ownership an attainable dream for all, and in the speculation of Wall Street, which led to the devastation of main Streets nationwide"--Publisher's note.
