Leading experts assess a variety of ‘culprits’ behind the financialization of housing, evaluating the role of institutions, social movements, grass roots initiatives and broader economic contexts. They advocate for an integrated method of analyzing these entry points and argue that stages of financialization must be understood as multi-level processes. Drawing on critical political economy and post-Keynesian economics, the book ultimately calls for a wider understanding of capitalist dynamics in order to synthesize various strategies for resisting financialization.

Resisting the Financialization of Housing is an essential resource for scholars and students of sociology, social policy, public policy, inequalities and sustainable development. Government policymakers and financial regulators will also benefit from its actionable recommendations.
