- Summary
- Starting with a critique of the theory of free markets, the book proceeds by categorizing alternative housing systems in Europe, followed by a comparative analysis of production, allocation and dynamic efficiency in three representative centres: Britain, France and Sweden. Differences are explained by focusing on alternative housing strategies and land supply systems. A comparative summary completes this important volume.
