A piece discussing the reduced access to credit for low and moderate income households is headlined: "The Democratization of Credit is Over." The article is a reasonable discussion of the issues involved although it never mentions the fact that the loss of home equity from the collapse of the housing bubble is a major factor reducing access to credit among moderate income households.
