Mark Kleinman's new book explains what has happened to housing
policy in Europe over the last two decades, and what housing policy
can tell us about welfare development more generally over the
period. Housing, Welfare and the State in Europe identifies a
divergence in housing policy between, on the one hand, the majority
of relatively affluent households and, on the other, an
impoverished minority. The legal, financial and economic concerns
of the well-housed, owner-occupier majority have preoccupied public
policy across Europe, with the impoverished minority often badly
housed or homeless. In Britain this has been particularly evident
with elections won and lost on the level of the mortgage rate
rather than the level of housing output, and still less on the
level of homelessness. Housing policy occupies a unique place in
public policy at the intersection of social with economic policy,
involving a mixed economy of welfare. Consequently, Dr Kleinman's
study offers insights into the future direction of public policy as
a whole, the balance between economic and social goals, and the
relative weighting given to free markets and state intervention in
a variety of countries.
