Book Synopsis
Reconceiving the current housing crisis in England as a `wicked' problem, this book situates the crisis in a broader range of socio-economic issues and calls for a change in how housing is produced and consumed.

Trade Review
“At last, a book that changes the terms of the great housing debate and challenges the received political wisdom of the main political parties.” Peter Hetherington, The Guardian.
“This forceful, informed and accessible book makes the housing crisis everyone’s problem. The UK’s dysfunctional relationship with housing has seeped into the pores of all areas of society and until the pervasive nature of this crisis is grasped, there will be no plausible escape.” Brett Christophers, Uppsala University
