Description
Why are house prices in many advanced economies rising faster than incomes? Why isn’t land and location taught or seen as important in modern economics? What is the relationship between the financial system and land?
In this accessible but provocative guide to the economics of land and housing, the authors reveal how many of the key challenges facing modern economies — including housing crises, financial instability, and growing inequalities — are intimately tied to the land economy.
Looking at the ways in which discussions of land have been routinely excluded from both housing policy and economic theory, the authors show that in order to tackle these increasingly pressing issues a major rethink by both politicians and economists is required.
Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics at play in modern housing and economic landscapes.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
A highly regarded analysis praised for its powerful critique of UK land and housing policies and for proposing ambitious, credible alternatives. Recognised by LSE Review of Books and cited among Bloomberg and Financial Times must-reads, it offers lucid explanations of Britain's dysfunctional housing market. Experts like Adair Turner commend the book's clarity in revealing how ignoring land's special character leads to rising debt, inequality, and financial crisis. It is considered extremely useful and an essential read for understanding the economic forces shaping housing today.
