While I am eager to agree that housing touches all aspects of human societies the challenge of tackling such a broad number of issues over such a variety of geographic regions is formidable. One of Moos’s stated goals is to leave the reader “with a sense of the complexity of housing as a fruitful area for future research” and I think the collection of essays certainly achieves that goal. Public policymakers could benefit from his recommendations on housing rights, financialization and mortgage markets, social or public housing, sustainability, and affordability.’\u003c\/i\u003e -- Stephanie Sweeney, Journal of Urban Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e‘In \u003c\/i\u003eA Research Agenda for Housing\u003ci\u003e, editor Markus Moos bring together contributors to illustrate and examine the major theoretical, analytical and empirical developments in the housing field, showing housing to be a complex area and an essential priority for public policy.
