Housing Philosophy - Applying Concepts to Policy

This book is intended to address key issues in housing policy through the lens of the philosophical concepts that underpin them.

List of contents

Introduction: Housing is a practical issue, what does philosophy matter?
1. Why can't we all just agree that housing is a good thing, and that the government should provide it?
2. Why do we need the State anyway?
3. Why does the same house sell for more, just because it's in London?
4. Why are there homeless people in a rich, modern country like a UK?
5. Why can't I burn my house down, if I feel like it?
6. What if the State really does know best?
7. Conclusions
