Synopsis
'A rallying cry for a deep rethink of how we build, buy and manage homes.' ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL
'A calm analysis of the concept of property ownership, its promises, successes and betrayals.' THE SPECTATOR
'Moore situates property where it belongs - in the centre of virtually every aspect of our lives.' SUNDAY TIMES
Wherever you are on property's wheel of chance, you are likely to be powerfully affected by it. Perhaps you have changed your life in search of a place you can afford. Or maybe you are a homeowner who worries about a crash in prices. Or perhaps you have found you are shut out of the magic kingdom of ownership and forced into paying high rents to indifferent landlords. This is a powerful examination of how property came to shape the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedom and stability it was meant to sustain.
