This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of how politics shape
housing markets and vice-versa. It demonstrates how housing impacts
a variety of social and political phenomenon including populist
politics, generational divides, wealth inequality, monetary policy,
and the welfare state. Housing and housing markets have important
implications for economic stability, public policy, domestic
politics and wealth inequality in Europe and beyond. Yet despite
its importance, housing has received relatively little attention in
comparative politics scholarship. The contributions within this
volume push the scholarship of housing into fresh, innovative
directions. The chapters focus on housing's contribution to wealth
inequality, how housing constrains governments' policy choices in
welfare state reform and how it can strengthen governments' hands
in financial regulation. Other contributions reveal the impact of
housing on central bankers' motivations for implementing monetary
expansion, highlight the generational divide in gaining access to
home-ownership, demonstrate how housing-driven wealth inequality
steers voters political preferences towards right-wing populism,
and explain how housing gradually shifted from being a social right
to an object of investment in Europe, even within its most
egalitarian states. These contributions cover a diversity of cases
in Western and Eastern Europe and theoretical paradigms that will
appeal to scholars and policy makers alike. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of West European
Politics.
