Abstract: Abstract The housing crisis precipitated by the Great Recession of 2007–2009 was an unprecedented challenge for federal administrators, and it was not handled well. Recent research indicates what went wrong and how. A case is made that federal ineffectiveness in dealing with the housing crisis angered Americans, and that anger was a likely factor in the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016.
