A must read to all of us who are interested in the housing boom and bust, which led to the current financial crisis. Thomas Sowell is not taking side in this book, but rather presenting the facts, the cast of characters, and the policies made that had contributed to the collapse of the housing prices and financial institutions. This book contains large quantity of data, which Dr. Sowell had eloquently presented to a lay-person like me. After reading this book, I cannot help but imagine the consequences that would entail if similar cast of characters and policies were to be made on the nation's health care. This book should go hand in hand with Dr. Sowell's "thinking beyond stage one" message presented in his "Applied Economics" book. It is time to get ourselves educated and refute the rhetoric from the media and politicians who are only interested in getting elected into office.Click Here to see more reviews about: The Housing Boom and Bust (Hardcover)
