Edward Glaeser, economieprofessor aan Harvard, over de risico's van sturend overheidsbeleid, moral hazard en keuzevrijheid.
Voor de hele analyse klikt u hier, hieronder in het kort zijn conclusie:
"For too long, our government has put homeownership on a pedestal and
acted as if a suburban home is the only place to find the American
dream. Our pro-homeownership policies have encouraged millions of
Americans to make vast leveraged bets on housing prices and many of
those bets have led to foreclosures.(...)
In this area, as in so many others, Americans should be free to
choose, without the public sectors spending billions to push its own
preferred living style."
