Bramley, G.

An affordability crisis in British housing: dimensions, causes and policy impact - 1994 - Housing Studies 9(1) January 1994, 103-124(22) .

In exploring reasons for an affordability crisis, the author points to financial deregulation and use of interest rates to control economic policy as main causes. Recognition of the importance of affordability on the economy has prompted new policies, which the author argues, will benefit the social housing sector.
