Both growth and unevenness in the distribution of housing wealth
have become characteristic of advanced societies in recent decades.
This book examines, in various contexts, how central housing
property ownership has become to household well-being as well as in
reshaping social, economic and political relations. Expert
contributors analyze the critical interactions between housing and
wealth that lie at the heart of contemporary forms of capitalism,
especially its global, neoliberal incarnation. Comparing and
contrasting case studies from across the European continent, this
book illustrates how these interactions are reshaping the function
of housing as a welfare object, including how the financialisation
and commodification of housing in the twenty-first-century has
transformed its role and amplified distributional outcomes.
Practical and engaging, Housing Wealth and Welfare is a must-read
for researchers and students of housing studies, social policy,
sociology, social geography and political science. It will also
appeal to policy makers within national and supra-national
organisations and institutions such as the European Union, Housing
Europe and the International Monetary Fund. Contributors include:
