Product description

Review

Essential reading .... As attempts to address the crisis are still inadequate - indeed, some government policies are making it worse - and as it shows little sign of improving in the near future, the facts of this human catastrophe can't be stated too much or too strongly. The first achievement of Anna Minton's book Big Capital is to do just that -- Rowan Moore ― Observer

Timely and relevant ... I can't recommend it enough -- Josie Long

Anna Minton goes digging into the housing crisis in London and beyond. She gives us an account that indicates the crisis was made through decisions and wilful distortions ... reads like a sort of murder mystery, fully exposed -- Saskia Sassen ― author of Expulsions

Diligent and determined ... Eye-opening ... Minton builds a powerful case ... A call to imagine what is politically possible -- Richard Godwin ― Evening Standard

Fierce, incisive, important. Anyone who lives or works in a building should read this book -- Will Self

A studied, sustained attack on a market that has been mishandled by successive governments for 40 years, not because politicians have been unable to remedy it but because it has been expedient not to. It makes for painful - yet compelling - reading -- Nathan Brooker ― Financial Times

Powerfully written ... It's hard not to come away with a fresh sense of outrage -- Matthew Partridge ― Moneyweek

Cutting through the jargon and spin [Minton] argues that housing is a human right, not purely a financial asset, and offers clear-sighted solutions -- Antonia Charlesworth ― Big Issue

Big Capital adds to what must be a commitment to change. It lays out clearly that the struggle for space will be at the top of the agenda within large cities -- Lisa Mckenzie, Research Fellow in the Department of Sociology, London School of Economics
