If you thought the 2008 US housing crash was the end of subprime bonds, think again. In this article, former New York Times reporter Gary Rivlin charts the rise of Wall Street’s latest billion-dollar baby: the subprime auto loan. He mainly focuses on the history of subprime auto-lending “pioneer” Don Foss’s auto-financing company Credit Acceptance, but Rivlin’s pointed analysis of the ongoing fight to regulate predatory auto lending carries broad, future-looking implications. getAbstract recommends this article to readers with an interest in the auto and financial markets.
