The subprime mortgage crisis has devastated millions and poses a significant threat to the U.S. and global economies. In this insightful work, economist Robert Shiller examines the crisis's origins and proposes bold solutions. He advocates for a comprehensive restructuring of the financial system to restore confidence in home buying and foster greater prosperity in the interconnected global economy. Shiller attributes the crisis to the irrational exuberance that fueled the recent economic bubbles in stocks and housing, leading to excessive credit extension and resulting in foreclosures, bankruptcies, and a global credit crunch. To regain market confidence, he argues for immediate bailouts, specifically targeting low-income victims of subprime deals. For a sustainable solution, Shiller emphasizes the need for leaders to overhaul the financial framework with initiatives designed to prevent future bubbles and mitigate risks. These include improved financial information, simplified legal contracts, expanded risk management markets, home equity insurance, income-linked home loans, and measures to protect consumers from hidden inflation. This compelling book is crucial for understanding the subprime crisis and exploring pathways to recovery.
