MORTGAGE FINANCING CRITERIA AND THE 2008 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ASSET BUBBLE


Join Ed Dodson as he provides an insider’s account of the 2008 property bubble.

In this interactive webinar, Edward Dodson discusses the mortgage finance sector ’s response to the declining affordability of residential properties that began in the early 1990s and culminated in the crash of 2008. The discussion will highlight the gradual erosion of lending requirements by Fannie Mae as the main cause of the housing bubble and offer a number of recommendations to minimize the potential for a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.

Speaker: Edward Dodson
Date: Thursday July 8th, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM

    Economy 2.0: Round Table #1


    Josh Sidman leads the first-ever Economy 2.0 round table episode, featuring Will RuddickMichael MeehanTeun van Sambeek and George Lovegrove. The topic will be the potential for digital and/or blockchain technologies to apply the trust-based dynamics of family or community economy to an extended network in which participants do not know each other personally.

    Aristotle defined economics as the study of “household management.” Households have a complex set of dynamics governing the rights and responsibilities of each member without the need for money or traditional economic contracts or institutions. What if modern technologies give us — for the first time in human history — the possibility of creating extended — or even global — networks built on these holistic dynamics, thus making possible a quantum leap forward in terms of human economy? These four thinkers will each bring their diverse perspectives on the subjects of alternative exchange paradigms and digital token systems to bear on this important and timely subject.
