Shut Out: How a Housing Shortage Caused the Great Recession and Crippled Our Economy (Mercatus Center at George Mason University) Paperback – Import, 15 September 2021

Not only are the common narratives wrong, the alternative narratives are wrong! If you balance Erdmann's research with Scott Sumner's work on "tight money" during the financial crisis, you finally see what happened! The graphs and narrative present all the information to understand the important differences between "closed access," "open access," and "contagion" cities, and that perspective lets you see how it really went down. Fascinating that someone would do this, otherwise it would have been buried forever. Buy two copies and give one to a friend!
