Review "A hugely informative account of the underlying problems in our housing market and why they are so very difficult to tackle." The Society of Professional Economists"The book sets out to unpick the complex forces exacerbating the endemic unaffordability of UK Housing. Thankfully, it offers insight and recommendations to improve our countrys dire situation." Red Brick"This is a book that scores at the top of the scale on scholarship quality. It is undoubtedly set to become a renowned landmark and reference point in the housing studies field." Housing Studies"I recommend this fine book to anyone interested in housing economics, and particularly housing affordability in the United Kingdom. It is rare to have a book that presents economic analysis with a sober reflection on political constraints and that also emphasizes the roots of and embraces new developments in the discipline. Understanding Affordability fills that void."
