This book exposes how deep-rooted political and economic forces continue to shape unequal housing outcomes in the UK. Moving beyond headlines and policy snapshots, it traces how global crises, austerity and shifting welfare regimes intersect to produce today’s housing landscape.

Steve Iafrati is Assistant Professor of Social Policy at the University of Nottingham. Lee Gregory is Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham.
