Concluding Remarks

Rezensionen

"This book is an incredibly impressive achievement and contribution, one of the very best yet written on the centrality of housing - how it is mythologized, developed, financed, traded, inhabited, and sometimes lost - to capitalist society, past and present. Moreno Zacarés's historical canvas is Spain, and what a remarkable history it is! But the insights and lessons are universal."
