Whose housing crisis?: Assets and homes in a changing economy

Whose housing crisis?: Assets and homes in a changing economy

by NickGallent (Author)

Synopsis

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.
