All That Is Solid

Hay Festival 2014, 

Housing was at the heart of the financial collapse, and our economy is now precariously reliant on the housing market. Tracing how we got to our current crisis and how housing has come to reflect class and wealth in Britain, All That Is Solid radically shows that the solution to our problems – rising homelessness, a generation priced out of home ownership – is not, as is widely assumed, building more homes. Inequality, Dorling argues, is what we really need to overcome. Chaired by Andy Fryers.
