Selling the Welfare State (Routledge Revivals)
The Privatisation of Public Housing
Introduction
Originally published in 1988, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical analysis of the privatisation of public housing in Britain.
Historical Background
It outlines the historical background to the growth of public housing and the developing political debate surrounding its disposal.
Main Focus
The main emphasis in the book, however, is on the ways in which privatisation in housing links to other key changes in British society.
Social Trends
The long trend for British social housing to become a welfare housing sector is related to evidence of growing social polarisation and segregation.
Policy Consequences
Within this overall context, the book explores the uneven spatial and social consequences of the policy.
