Reviews

"Mian and Sufi have produced some of the most important and compelling research on the impact of debt on consumer behavior during the recent housing bubble and bust. This excellent new book presents and expands this research in a rigorous, yet engaging and accessible way." (Christina D. Romer, former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers) "This is a profoundly important book that makes a huge range of serious empirical evidence on the financial crisis accessible to a broad readership." (Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard University)"
