History of the Housing Crisis
In History of the Housing Crisis, Rebecca Searle offers a unique insight into the long history of the housing crisis, telling three stories that are central to understanding the contemporary crisis. The first explores the growth of owner occupation and how this was fostered by generations of parliamentarians as they wrested to contain the disruptive potential of democratization. The rise and fall of council housing is traced in the second story, which documents how a rent strike organized by Glasgow women forced the introduction of rent controls and council house building. Finally, the third story details the surprising legacy of the strikes, which was the boost they gave to the housing finance industry. Searle charts how successive property booms were fueled by lenders using financial mechanisms to displace risk to extend loans to lower-earning households. Rising interest rates placed strain on overextended borrowers and as boom turned to bust, wider economic turbulence ensued. Today we sit upon the largest housing bubble yet seen. As interest rates creep up, this book offers a timely intervention on how housing policy could better house the people.

Trist Families of Devon
During the Industrial Revolution Devon underwent de-population as younger people left to enter numerous occupations created by new technologies. Younger people left the countryside for jobs being created in the rapidly expanding towns and cities in Great Britain. But they also emigrated overseas and joined up with the economic development occurring globally. Since 1800, branches of the Trist family have sprung up in various parts of the world: in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America. I have come into contact with some present-day descendants of these groups, reminders of the rapid divergence from the family's English traditions.
