Chapter 7 in Learning from the World, 2014, pp 89-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The financial crisis that began in 2008 has shown that there are externalities from a dysfunctional mortgage system that spill over to the rest of the economy and can have international repercussions. The breakdown of the mortgage system in the US has led to the deepest recession since World War II and is still hampering economic growth.
