In All That is Solid Danny Dorling offers an agenda-shaping look at
the UK's dangerous relationship with housing - and how it's all
going to come crashing down Housing was at the heart of the
financial collapse, and our economy is now precariously reliant on
the housing market. In this ground-breaking book, Danny Dorling
argues that housing is the defining issue of our times. Tracing how
we got to our current crisis and how housing has come to reflect
class and wealth in Britain, All That Is Solid shows that the
solution to our problems - rising homelessness, a generation priced
out of home ownership - is not, as is widely assumed, building more
homes. Inequality, he argues, is what we really need to overcome.
