Kling on Freddie and Fannie and the Recent History of the U.S. Housing Market

Quite possibly one of the most educational podcasts that I have listened to regarding the debacle of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is this one on Econ Talk with Russell Roberts and Arnold Kling. The discussion covers all the intricacies and mechanisms between government and these large congress-created behemoths. If you don’t believe that government had a hand in the collapse of these two GSE’s (government sponsored enterprises), take some time and listen in.
