BUSTED

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

From Publishers Weekly
As I write in February 2009, I am four months past due on my mortgage and bracing for foreclosure proceedings to begin. Thus begins this cautionary and critical examination of the housing crisis, a story that turned personal when New York Times economics reporter Andrews got caught up in the housing bubble after falling in love with a woman and a house. Bringing in $120,000 a year in salary—most of which went to child support and alimony to his ex-wife, Andrews says he was able to get a don’t ask, don’t tell mortgage with the assumption that his new wife, Patty, would be able to get a job to keep them afloat, an expectation that didn’t work out as planned. Because of his economics journalism background, Andrews says he should have avoided the mortgage catastrophe, and he castigates himself as well as fellow borrowers, the financial industry that took advantage of them and a government that didn’t put the brakes on the crisis that many economists warned about but that Alan Greenspan, the Bush administration and others ignored. This deeply personal exposé is timely and sobering in its candor. (June)

A fascinating meditation on the experience of the crisis from the point of view of those facing foreclosure. (David Warsh – Economic Principals )

Andrews uses his travails as a prism for viewing the forces behind the bubble. . . . Step by step, he investigates the institutions that gave him the rope with which to hang himself.
(James Pressley – Bloomberg )

Andrews’s autopsy on his mortgage and the conditions that helped produce it is sharp and at times mordantly funny. (Tom Vanderbilt – The New York Times Book Review )

Provides important information on the recent mortgage debacle and the hazards of consumer debt. A must-read… (Mary Whaley – Booklist )
