The housing debate: Policy and Politics in the Twenty-First Century
Autor Stuart Loween Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2011
The emergence of Britain as a fully-fledged home-owning society at the end of the last century has major implications for how houses are used not just as a home but as an asset. The key debate in this important and timely book is whether social policy and people's homes should be so closely connected, especially when housing markets are so volatile. It will be essential reading for all students and practitioners of housing and those concerned with how social and public policy is being shaped in the twenty-first century.

Recenzii
We are increasingly having to rely on housing wealth to fund many aspects of our life including retirement when recent experience of the housing market shows that this can be a risky strategy. This book offers a timely re-assessment of the role of housing in social policy. David Clapham, Cardiff University
By giving us both the longterm and the big picture Stuart Lowe illuminates both the importance of housing to wider debates about welfare and the divides and contradictions inherent in today's housing debates. Caroline Hunter, University of York
“The book serves as an excellent core text and concise overview, offering an entry point for those new to housing studies literature.”
