Whose Housing Crisis?
Assets and Homes in a Changing Economy
«“At last, a book that changes the terms of the great housing debate and challenges the received political wisdom of the main political parties.” Peter Hetherington, The Guardian.»
This book examines the ways in which the social purpose of housing, as home, is too often relegated behind its economic function, as asset. As individuals increasingly use housing as a place to park and extract wealth, and governments do all they can to keep house prices on an upward track, the author analyses how this refunctioning of housing is a great source of social inequality.

Anmeldelser
«“At last, a book that changes the terms of the great housing debate and challenges the received political wisdom of the main political parties.” Peter Hetherington, The Guardian.»
«“This forceful, informed and accessible book makes the housing crisis everyone’s problem. The UK’s dysfunctional relationship with housing has seeped into the pores of all areas of society and until the pervasive nature of this crisis is grasped, there will be no plausible escape.” Brett Christophers, Uppsala University»
