This is a detailed survey and analysis of the ways in which governments affect the price of housing, taking into account the many changes of the last few years. The study examines the system and the way in which governments affect it, covering subjects such as subsidies to council housing and housing associations, housing benefit for those with low incomes, tax concessions for owner occupiers, and other subsidies such as the right to buy, or improvement grants. The book also examines the complicated network of interactions between these elements, analyzing results such as the patterns of gains from different kinds of subsidies and incentives. The final part looks at proposals designed to offer a practical route out of the current tangle of housing finance.
