520 1 $a"Before most people had heard of subprime mortgages - before Washington had shown any concern or Wall Street had seen anything but a new source of huge profits - there was a debt crisis brewing in this country." "With boundless expressions of faith in the private sector and endless denigration of government, the giants of the American lending industry were allowed to write their own rules, aggressively marketing a succession of new loan products that were rigged to put people into near-perpetual debt." "Up to Our Eyeballs is an exploration of the causes and consequences of the explosive rise in consumer debt, and of the fast-spreading financial and economic crisis. After explaining how we got into our credit fix, the authors sketch out a plausible escape route, based on proven good ideas that our political and economic elites have temporarily forgotten, at the expense of the rest of us."--BOOK JACKET.
