4.9/5 (32854 ratings)

Description:The “bedroom tax”—an underoccupancy penalty levied on tenants of UK government housing who have spare rooms—was one of the most high-profile and contentious of the Coalition Government’s welfare reform policies, often held up as a symbol of draconian and punitive austerity measures. In this concise book, Dave Cowan and Alex Marsh employ the bedroom tax as a rich case study through which to explore a range of wider debates, including understandings of the “social” in social housing, the politics and policy of poverty, and social security law. In so doing, they tease out answers to such key questions as whether or not the tax can be dismissed as a government blunder that failed to elicit the desired behavioral responses, primarily due to a lack of alternative social accommodation, or whether it signifies a new organizing principle for social housing, in which temporary and transient housing need is of primary importance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
