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.
