A sharply researched, formally playful companion to Inside Job’s subject: it makes the machinery and human cost of the housing collapse legible while retaining an indignant, investigative edge.

A direct, people-centered investigation into predatory lending and consumer debt, with the same sense that polished financial systems conceal damaging incentives and real human consequences.
Why this pick
