Autor Bob Colenutten Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mai 2020
This book broadly addresses family life, situating social science research in the contexts of its production including wider policy and political concerns, discourses, and social science vocabularies. It also shows how social researchers are social and policy actors concerned with issues of social justice, security and sustainability. Finally, it demonstrates that research is an art as well as a science, a creative process that involves craft and practice.

Recenzii
"Many books have attempted to explain the roots of Britain’s housing crisis, but Colenutt is better placed than most to unpick the mess...Combining the methodical precision of an academic with the persuasive passion of a radical campaigner, Colenutt identifies how we got into this situation, and provides several suggestions for a possible way out. In succinct chapters, he lays out the structure of what he calls the “finance-housebuilding complex”, explaining how the housebuilding business works, how housing finance underpins the entire UK economy, how the powerful network of lobbying groups operates, how it has shaped planning policy, and how the grim cycle of low supply, high prices and poor quality homes is relentlessly perpetuated by vested interests."
