The deal lost investors $1 billion but produced $1 billion in profits for Goldman’s collaborator, Paulson & Company, a hedge fund betting the housing bubble would collapse. Experts at Wharton and elsewhere analyze the financial, legal and ethical issues raised by a case that has riveted both Wall Street and Main Street.

>When is this bubble in China going to burst?

>China’s Property Bubble: Can It Be Deflated Safely, or Will It Burst?

China is likely in the midst of a real estate bubble, according to faculty from Wharton and the Guanghua School of Management, who spoke during a joint symposium held at Peking University in Beijing on March 10. “Clearly, in China there are cautionary signs,” said Wharton real estate professor Susan M.
