The book examines the structural transformation of economies, firms, and households as housing increasingly becomes intertwined with financial markets, thereby turning housing risks into \u003cstrong\u003efinancial risks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major focus is the rise of \u003cstrong\u003ehousing as a high-quality collateral (HQC) investment\u003c\/strong\u003e in the global financial system. This shift explains why housing is becoming more financialized but does not fully account for the politics, timing, and geography of this phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a diverse range of \u003cstrong\u003ecase studies\u003c\/strong\u003e from countries like the \u003cstrong\u003eUS, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e, Aalbers explores how \u003cstrong\u003estate policies\u003c\/strong\u003e, local histories, and institutional frameworks have contributed to this transformation. The book also critically assesses how this financialization is shaping both \u003cstrong\u003ehomeownership\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esocial housing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy placing \u003cstrong\u003ehousing\u003c\/strong\u003e at the center of the \u003cstrong\u003efinancialization debate\u003c\/strong\u003e, this volume presents a timely and essential contribution to the field of \u003cstrong\u003einternational economics\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eeconomic geography\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003efinancialization studies\u003c\/strong\u003e.
