Kolb provides an essential, comprehensive review of the context within which these events unfolded, arguing that while the crisis had no single cause, housing finance played a central role, and that to understand what happened, one must comprehend the mechanism by which the housing industry came into crisis. Kolb offers a history of the housing finance system as it developed throughout the twentieth century, and especially in the period from 1990 to 2006, showing how the originate-to-distribute model of mortgage financing presented market participants with a "clockwork of perverse incentives." In this system, various participants--simply by pursuing their narrow personal interests--participated in an elaborate mechanism that led to disaster. The book then gives a narrative of the crisis as it developed and analyzes all of the participants in the housing market, from the home buyers to investors in collaterialized debt obligations (CDOs). At each step, the book explains in a nontechnical manner the essential relationships among the market participants and zeroes in on the incentives facing each party. The book also includes an extensive glossary and a detailed, authoritative timeline of the subprime fiancial crisis Crisis financiera Historia Estados Unidos 31106 Siglo XX Crisis financiera Historia Estados Unidos 31106 Siglo XXI Financial Management Association survey and synthesis series 47179 lcc BK cmc 126359 126359 0 0 lcc 0 0 CS BJB BJB CS 2026-02-10 0 HB 3743 K81f 2011 00000198694 2026-02-10 13:59:00 1 2026-02-10 BK
