What Do We Know and What Should We Do About Housing?

By taking aim at the 'property machine' and its opposition to the social and everyday needs of the majority of the population, the authors analyse some of the key social and economic forces and the broad range of policies that have shaped and responded to Britain's housing crisis. Before concluding with a series of innovative proposals that would allow for the establishment of a fairer and more equal society and a more stable economic future.
