{"product_id":"understanding-housing-finance","title":"Understanding Housing Finance","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest challenges for students of housing is understanding the financial principles which underpin the place of housing in the wider economy. By taking a political economy approach, Peter King's \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Housing Finance\u003c\/em\u003e makes the basic principles of the subject accessible, without requiring detailed prior knowledge of economics or financial systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explains housing finance by exploring the way in which markets and governments react together. It takes a conceptual approach to consider the advantages and limits of housing markets and why governments intervene. The consequences of intervention are explored in detail using examples of housing subsidy systems and policy mechanisms such as rent control, housing allowances and subsidies to owner occupation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a key reference for students on housing and planning courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The book’s approach means that its relevance is not confined to one particular housing system, but is useful for those studying housing finance in most developed and developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542878740718,"sku":"9780415432955","price":77.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415432955.jpg?v=1720136674","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/understanding-housing-finance","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
