Critics Review
5 stars. As Danny Dorling’s powerfully argued new book makes clear … the need for serious action has never been greater – Ed Cumming * Telegraph *
Dorling grasps the importance of the issue. His urgency is warranted. The professor is also often correct – John McDermott * Financial Times *
The most lucid and urgent account of the UK’s housing crisis you’ll read this year. It deserves a place at the top of David Cameron’s reading list. In fact, one would like to hand-deliver it to every minister… Dorling’s anger at our legislators is palpable… his solutions are at once simple and radical * Evening Standard *
