Selling the Welfare State

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the privatisation of public housing in Britain, this comprehensive analysis examines its historical context and the evolving political discourse surrounding housing disposal. It highlights the connection between housing privatisation and broader societal changes, particularly the shift of social housing towards a welfare sector amid increasing social polarisation and segregation. The book also investigates the varied spatial and social impacts of these policies, providing critical insights into the consequences of housing privatisation on British society.
