Originally published in 1990 and drawing on extensive research,
this book provides an evaluation of the impact of the growth of
home ownership in the UK, and of the claims and counter-claims made
for its social significance. The book examines critically the
evidence for and against the proposition that mass home ownership
is contributing towards a more equal society. Wide-ranging in its
coverage, the book discusses the changing nature and role of home
ownership, wealth accumulation and housing, the relationship
between social class and housing tenure, and policy development.

Originally published in 1988, this book offers the first
comprehensive and critical analysis of the privatisation of public
housing in Britain. It outlines the historical background to the
growth of public housing and the developing political debatea
surrounding its disposal. The main emphasis in the book, however,
is on the ways in which privatisation in housing links to other key
changes in British society. The long trend for British social
housing to become a welfare housing sector is related to evidence
of growing social polarisation and segregation. Within this overall
context, the book explores the uneven spatial and social
consequences of the policy.

The changing nature and significance of housing provision within
welfare states is considered in this timely book. With housing
playing an increasingly important role in welfare provision, the
new welfare state emerging in different parts of the world is being
developed in the context of individual asset accumulation and the
private ownership of housing. Housing and the New Welfare State
shows that housing is becoming critical to asset-based welfare not
only in Western Europe but also in the six East Asian housing
systems that are a major focus of the book. Chapters by leading
East Asian scholars provide analysis of housing policies in
Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. Also examined
are the 'four worlds' of welfare and housing; the causes and
consequences of the shift from tenants to home owners in the old
welfare states of Britain and other parts of Western Europe; and
the growth of the property-owning welfare state as a theme running
through contemporary policy in both East Asia and Europe.
The Right to Buy has had a massive impact on Housing in the UK for
35 years and in 2015 there were proposals to extend it. But what is
the Right to Buy policy, how has it developed and what has its
impact been? What evidence is there about the wider and unintended
consequences of the policy? How are the proposals to extend the
policy in England likely to affect future housing provision and
what alternatives are there? In The Right to Buy, Alan Murie
provides an authoritative account of the origins, development and
impact of the policy across the UK and proposals for its extension
in England (and decisions to end it in Scotland and Wales).
Presenting up-to-date statistical material the book engages with
debates about transfers to private renting, the impact on public
expenditure and on the current housing situation, addresses the
proposals for new legislation and details the potential impact of
these. It is an essential read for anyone interested in this highly
topical issue.
