The real estate bubble and subsequent implosion put individuals and corporations in dire situations. This week&#8217;s featured title looks at the factors that contributed to the crash of the American dream of home ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Katz, journalism instructor at New York University, examines the housing market and how we got to where we are now. The author focuses on all of the players involved, from the government to the bankers to community activists, that created the crisis that we&#8217;re currently experiencing. She writes about a somewhat complicated subject in a very accessible style and even includes a glossary of real estate terms just in case. Furthermore, she does provide notes and sources for further research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Lot: How Real Estate Came to Own Us By Alyssa Katz HD1375 .K348 2009 New Book Island, 2nd floor The housing market these days has a lot of people worried and waiting for an economic recovery to make the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/archives\/3579\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[178,352,198,719,185,2355],"class_list":["post-3579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-stuff-tuesdays","tag-books","tag-business","tag-economics","tag-housing","tag-new-stuff","tag-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3579"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3587,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3579\/revisions\/3587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
