This was the second book I read on the housing collapse, and the first that offered solutions. I'am not anywhere close to being an expert in the field, but the book was easy to follow along. The solutions are needed for all players listed in the book, and the majority would work. Some of the solutions for homeowners are a little much, but agree we need to go back to a 20 percent down payment (skin in the game that the author keeps refering too).The difficulty would be getting the politicians and the banks to go along with there own changes. Good read, and must be done if were ever going to get the economy roaring back.

An exceptional primer on the mortgage finance system, its history, what caused its collapse, and how it can be repaired and rebuilt to survive for future generations. I know of no other work that takes the reader through such a thorough account of this all-important market, while still making the information accessible and understandable to even the most casual observer of the mortgage crisis. Highly recommended!
