'The Myth of Affordable Housing' demonstrates the failure of price to effectively fulfil socially needed goals. The displacement of need by affordability has made market price the standard against which all goals are valued. It is this act of valuation that guides the book’s critique.

'The Myth of Affordable Housing' is a critique of the abject failure of affordable housing policies to address a global crisis of need. It will be published by Routledge in March this year. You can read the first two chapters free on criticalplace.org.uk
