When did it all go so wrong?

100 Years of Housing Policy and 60 Years of Failure.

Welcome to The Origins of the Housing Crisis by me, Samuel Watling. I am a soon-to-be graduating Economic historian working upon 20th century Britain, mainly its housing markets and planning policy. I am using this substack to share my research and thoughts on this crucial, but often misunderstood, topic of recent economic history.

I aim to publish my first major article, ‘The Housing Crisis: What we do and do not know’ at some point in mid-July.
