Understanding Housing Finance offers a distinctive introduction to the subject. Instead of discussing housing finance in accounting or economic terms, this book considers housing finance politically. It is finance that makes housing consumption, housing management and housing development possible. But in order to understand housing finance we need to appreciate the mechanisms and principles which are at the heart of current policies.
