Immergluck states, \u0022The answer to not putting too much risk on the back of the government is not to shift it onto (often unsophisticated) homeowners, most of whom have essentially no ability to hedge against such risk. The answer is to have a well-regulated private sector, together with some carefully financed government insurance, deal with interest rate risks.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDan Immergluck writes extensively on the foreclosure crisis in his publication, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.cornellpress.cornell.edu\/cup_detail.taf?ti_id=5385\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EForeclosed: High-risk Lending, Deregulation, and the Undermining of America\u0027s Mortgage market.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27215","created_gmt":"2011-01-21 12:20:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:24:18","author":"Mike Alberghini","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"Extension of Self","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/01\/17\/opinion\/l17mortgage.html?_r=1\u0026partner=rssnyt\u0026emc=rss","dateline":{"date":"2011-01-16T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2011-01-16T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"11715","name":"fixed rate mortgages"},{"id":"11717","name":"foreclosure crisis"},{"id":"11716","name":"home loans"},{"id":"11714","name":"professor dan immergluck"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
