Publisher Synopsis
"For Well Worth Saving, Price Fishback, Jonathan Rose, and Kenneth Snowden have assembled compelling new data to reassess the costs and benefits of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, developing the broader intellectual history of housing support and relating their findings to the recent financial crisis in the United States and current government programs aimed at providing relief to distressed mortgage holders.
