House of Debt is a 2014 economics book by Atif Mian and Amir Sufi that offers a major reinterpretation of the Great Recession. Rather than treating the crisis mainly as a banking collapse, the book argues that the decisive force was the buildup of household debt, especially mortgage debt, followed by a sharp fall in spending when home values dropped. Written for a broad audience, it translates empirical macroeconomics into a clear account of how balance sheets, leverage, and consumption interact during downturns. The book combines research findings with policy argument, asking not only what caused the recession but also why the recovery was so weak and what governments should do differently in future crises. Its focus is both analytical and practical: it examines how debt changes the behavior of households, why those effects spread through the wider economy, and why standard responses that protect creditors may fail to restore demand.
