Colenutt reveals how a network of landowners, house-builders, financial backers and politicians lock in a cycle of low supply and high prices, and proposes much-needed answers to one of the biggest social challenges of our age.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Many books have attempted to explain the roots of Britain's housing crisis, but Colenutt is better placed than most to unpick the mess...Combining the methodical precision of an academic with the persuasive passion of a radical campaigner, Colenutt identifies how we got into this situation, and provides several suggestions for a possible way out. In succinct chapters, he lays out the structure of what he calls the "finance-housebuilding complex", explaining how the housebuilding business works, how housing finance underpins the entire UK economy, how the powerful network of lobbying groups operates, how it has shaped planning policy, and how the grim cycle of low supply, high prices and poor quality homes is relentlessly perpetuated by vested interests."-- "The Guardian"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bob Colenutt is lecturer at Oxford Brookes University.
