Description
The UK's chronic housing shortage is a pressing issue that has become increasingly unaffordable in many parts of the country. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the shortage has worsened, with housing prices and rents rising faster than earnings. This has led to a growing number of priced-out homebuyers. In "Home Truths", Liam Halligan provides a comprehensive analysis of the UK's housing crisis, drawing on extensive interviews with key figures and deep economic research. The book offers a no-holds-barred critique of the current situation and proposes eye-catching policy solutions that are directly relevant to both national and regional governments. Halligan's reportage and analysis shed light on the complex issues driving the housing shortage, and his proposals are likely to be of interest to policymakers and anyone seeking to understand the root causes of this pressing problem.
