This book is concerned with subsidised and low-cost housing, not necessarily provided by the state but which the state seeks to control, regulate or license.

Although it might be argued that we are moving to a post-welfare state, or neo-/advanced liberalism, the book offers a view of welfare housing as in transition, a state where its conlusion is unclear.
