Description

If an analyst purported to find that mortgage failures by unworthy borrowers were the sole cause of the crises that threaten to push the financial system over the virtual precipice, that analyst either should be canonized for the insight or should be suspected of being a fool, fraud, or fabricator. Note that I used the word crises to suggest that it may be accurate to think that the challenges of financial market deterioration may best be explained on the theory that many things have gone terribly wrong, only one of which was the housing financing system. A single-cause hypothesis to explain how we got to this near disaster or actual disaster is likely to be inadequate in fundamental ways and on multiple levels. We are dealing with complexities interwoven from webs of financial systems, innumerable transactions of disparate varieties, new-fangled and complicated financial instruments, widely diverse kinds of institutional actors, several governmental agencies that have housing assistance missions, as well as regulatory and oversight duties, and global financial transactions and institutions with far flung tentacles. I am comfortable in trying to debunk what might be regarded as one theme seeking to attribute full responsibility for the crises to some kind of failure of housing policy or to aberrant manipulations of the housing market mortgage system.
