Rebutting charges that the financial collapse was caused by conservative deregulatory zeal, Schweizer, the author of Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy, shows that it was actually the result of \"do-good capitalism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Failure of Regulation, Not Deregulation: \u003c\/b\u003e Peter Schweizer meticulously dismantles the myth of deregulatory zeal, exposing how decades of misguided liberal policies and social engineering created the very conditions for collapse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Community Reinvestment Act: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover how a well-intentioned act designed to fight redlining was weaponized by activists to force banks into making trillions of dollars in high-risk loans to underqualified borrowers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFannie Mae and Freddie Mac: \u003c\/b\u003e Uncover the political hijacking of these mortgage giants, turning them from stabilizing forces into engines for an activist agenda that endangered the entire financial system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Role of ACORN: \u003c\/b\u003e Follow the thirty-year campaign by radical community organizers like ACORN who used intimidation and accusations of racism to systematically dismantle traditional lending standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWas the financial collapsecaused by free-market capitalismand deregulation run amok, as liberals claim?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot on your life, says Peter Schweizer. \u003cem\u003eIn Architects of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e, Schweizer describes how a coalition of left-wing activists, liberal politicians, and \"do-good capitalists\" on Wall Street leveraged government power to achieve their goal of broadening homeownership among minorities and the poor. The results were not only devastating to the economy, but hurt the very people they were supposedly trying to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tale of liberal \"Robin Hood capitalism run wild\" has never beentold. But more than just a story about the past, \u003cem\u003eArchitects of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e is also an urgent warning about the future. The very same people who planted the seeds of the collapse are back in Washington, determined to use the crisis they caused as cover for a massive overhaul of the American economic system. These people have learned nothing from their past mistakes and are busy applying the same methods to other sectors of the economy--health care, the auto industry, real estate (again!), and above all the promotion of\"green\" technologies--inflating bubbles that are sure to bring about another crisis. Ordinary Americans who foot the bill for the last state-capitalist bubble have reason to be afraid--very afraid--of the inevitable result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 8.01 x 5.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 06, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45659565752517,"sku":"9780061953378","price":22.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/tCdRXnXq39780061953378.webp?v=1781187086","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/architects-of-ruin-how-big-government-liberals-wrecked-the-global-economy-and-how-they-will-do-it-again-if-no-one-stops-them-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
