The Dollar Crisis makes arguments about our falling dollar based on hundreds of data, charts, and tables from the Federal Reserve, Census Bureau, IMF, World Bank, HUD. Almost every sentence in that book has a footnote. Every single sentence he writes is backed up with data.
Ahead of the Curve is also filled with charts, so I could see for myself the correlation among the items the author claims. The author maintains a website, so his charts are updated as the government releases more data.
Is the book mentioned above data-driven? Does he show charts of home prices before and after the subsidy? Charts of the amount of M3 increase, inflation, housing increase, so we can see the correlation? How does he get his information? Did he work at the Federal Reserve, interviews? If all this is answered, then I would definitely like to read the book.
“After 60 years of subsidizing and regulating the housing industry, how many young people today can afford a home? Tinkering with the laws of supply and demand, plus the hidden tax called inflation to pay for the tinkering, has driven prices beyond the reach of many”
The Federal Reserve 1% interest rate experiment made homes unaffordable. Before this low interest rate, which stimulated demand and raised prices, young people were buying homes with 20% down.
