Contents:

The meaning of value -- Rules for assessing the borrower and managing behavioral risk -- The loan application process -- Constructing housing markets -- Lending discrimination -- Constructing risk.

Summary: Mortgage lenders in the US, Stuart contends, are embedded in and shape a social context that can best be understood in terms of rules, networks and the production of space. This history of lenders' risk criteria reveals that they were synthesized from rules of thumb and untested theories.
