Wheatworks Blog: Financial Matters

Dollars & Sense web site has a thought-provoking article written by Howard Karger titled, “The Homeownership Myth:
A contrarian asks whether homeownership really benefits low-income families.”

Howard Karger is professor of social work at the University of Houston and the author of Shortchanged: Life and Debt in the Fringe Economy. “The Homeownership Myth” is a clear outline of why, for many, homeownership may not be all it’s touted to be for the masses.

Dollars & Sense (subtitled, “The Magazine of Economic Justice”) is a non-profit publisher focusing on economic news and analysis, economic justice activism and critiques of the national media’s coverage of the economy.

If you’re interested in a perspective on the economy that includes ethical considerations, visit the Dollars & Sense web site. And if you like what you find there (in the online archive dating back to 1996) consider subscribing to the print issue.
