The politics of housing development in an age of austerity by Duncan Bowie

New pamphlet from Chartist

As the housing crisis in England hits the headlines again Duncan Bowie’s new pamphlet answers the questions: why are we not building more homes? And especially with homelessness and overcrowding on the rise, why not more affordable social housing? The pamphlet examines housing policy over one hundred years and is a powerful critique of New Labour and current coalition government policy.
