Some notes upon housing policy with special reference to renting in certain european countries

Abstract

The everlasting arguement between free market and controlled rents' supporters has been further sharpened by some certain most unfortunate measures taken of late. The unfixing of rents has not led to the benefits of that abundant supply which, it was held by the prophets of a mercantile free-for-all, would lead to a bettering of prices. On the contrary, it has brought on a narrowing of the scope of the housing on offer and an apparently unstoppable soaring of its price. All this, it is here held, cries aloud for some genuine rethinking as to the housing problem and this beyond the straitening limits of brute Supply and Demand, a re-thinking up to re-siting the issue within the bounds of accumulation notions, which is to say within the realm of a given society's possibilities of continuity as it is and the sharing out that which it has or produces.
