The Menace of Mortgage Debts:
Lessons from the Great Depression Series: Part IV: Where do we go After the Housing Crash?
As we approach Super Duper Tuesday, a day that is historical in magnitude, we need to reflect on how we got into the current housing mess. It would be easy to say that the mortgage problems simply arrived over night but they have been building up for a decade. This housing crisis is unprecedented; that is until we look at the mortgage mess from the Great Depression. On Saturday, I was digging through journals written during the Great Depression and found an article written by Arthur Holden for Harpers in 1932, four years into the Great Depression. This will be the fourth part in our Great Depression series:
