Household was making loans at a faster pace than ever. A big source of its growth had been the second mortgage.

It was a weird, dishonest sales pitch. The borrower was told he had an "effective interest rate of 7 percent" when he was in fact paying something like 12.5 percent. "It was blatant fraud," said Eisman. "They were tricking their customers. By Michael Lewis Making Household Years Percent Faster

My own interest is the responsibility of people to be responsible for their own lives and, with their neighbors, for their public space and actions. To sing their own songs.

By George Eliot Mysterious Good Toil Purpose Stood
