Our Lot

Through reporting and analysis, Katz tells the tale of how the spread of homeownership ultimately played a role in debilitating the national economy. Her account of the recent housing bubble and its sudden deflation should be required reading for those who want to know what happened and how to avoid it from happening again. From Washington to Wall Street and the heart of the subprime industry in Orange County, and from the streets and living rooms of neighborhoods across the country forever transformed by the bubbles excesses, Our Lot reveals what went so disastrously wrong with a crusade that was supposed to create a more perfect nation.
