About this book

Demand for owner-occupied housing has expanded dramatically across modern-industrialized societies in recent years leading to volatile increases in residential property values. This book explores the rise of modern home-ownership as a cultural, socio-political and ideological phenomenon.

Reviews

'...it is a significant contribution to both comparative housing studies and debates on tenure, ideology, and housing politics. This book deserves to be read by anyone interested in these topics.' - Manuel Aalbers, Government and Policy
