To buy that 'home of our own,' nearly four million of us are deeply in debt to organisations of great power about which we know almost nothing. What are building societies? How can we be sure that interest rates are being kept as low as they could be or that investors are getting the best rates for their savings? With home loan interest rates already the highest in history and threatening to go higher, the Money at Work team ask how far the societies can claim to provide efficient means for financing house purchase at rates that don't actually go through the roof.

Among those taking part are William Rees-Mogg, editor of The Times; James Reston, chief columnist of the New York Times, and Joseph Kraft of The Chicago Daily News.
