About this product

Product Information

The 2008 financial crisis--like the Great Depression--was a world-historical event. What caused it will be debated for years, if not generations. The conventional narrative is that the financial crisis was caused by Wall Street greed and insufficient regulation of the financial system. That narrative produced the Dodd-Frank Act, the most comprehensive financial-system regulation since the New Deal. There is evidence, however, that the Dodd-Frank Act has slowed the recovery from therecession. If insufficient regulation caused the financial crisis, then the Dodd-Frank Act will never be modified or repealed; proponents will argue that doing so will cause another crisis. A competing narrative about what caused the financial crisis has received little attention. This view, which is accepted by almost all Republicans in Congress and most conservatives, contends that the crisis was caused by government housing policies. This book extensively documents this view. For example, it shows that in June 2008, before the crisis, 56 percent of all US mortgages were subprime or otherwise low-quality. Of these, 76 percent were on the books of government agencies such asFannie Mae and Freddie Mac. When these mortgages defaulted in 2007 and 2008, they drove down housing prices and weakened banks and other mortgage holders, causing the crisis. After this book is published, no one will be able to claim that the financial crisis was caused by insufficient regulation, or defend Dodd-Frank, without coming to terms with the data this book contains.

great read, read it and understand who caused the melt down
Hidden in plain sight, lays out the failure of the liberal agenda, the falure of giving loans to people who could not afford them and the fact the bank sold those loans that would fail in the future. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone pays for the bread, the meat and the drink. When the government offers low cost load that adjust up, the cost of that free lunch is paid by the people who have lived with in the lines resonable peolpe live within. When President Bush asked Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to stop giving loans the people who could not pay for them, The liberal liars said why are you against Americans own homes. The history lesson is liberals caused the financial meltdown, not President Bush. Read it and understand the evil intentions of liberalism and how it cause the financial problems. Get book everyone should read it befor the next election or we will suffer another 8 years of Robin Hoodism, take from the producers and give to the non producers. The real name of this book should be "not hidden", It was know and hidden by liberals. God bless American !Read full review
