Summary:
"The former Federal National
Mortgage
Association (
Fannie
Mae
) CFO's
inside
look at the war between the financial giants and government regulators A provocative true-life thriller about the all-out fight for dominance of the
mortgage
industry--and how it nearly destroyed the global financial system. Many books have been written about the 2008 financial crisis, but they miss the biggest story of the meltdown: the battle between giant financial companies to dominate the $11 trillion
mortgage
market that almost destroyed the global financial system. For more than twenty years, until 2004, Timothy Howard was a senior executive at the best known of those companies,
Fannie
Mae
, and he was in the middle of that fight.In The Franchise, Howard explains how seemingly unrelated developments in banking regulation, housing policy, Wall Street financial innovation, and political lobbying all combined to wreak havoc on the
American
housing market and the world economy.Timothy Howard was Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of
Fannie
Mae
until 2004. Prior to this, he was senior financial economist at Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco"--Provided by publisher.
