In a nutshell, it presents the government and politicians as self-serving, protecting the interests of a few wealthy businesses at the expense of the general population. Its sprinkled with facts like Ian Gow's son is a property developer, owning 40 buy to let flats which are ex-council, turned private, through Thatcher's right to buy. Ian Gow being Thatcher's architect of right to buy. He highlights some measures to be taken such as introducing a land tax to stop property developers hoarding land, and criminalising banker misdemeanors.Its weakness is that it underestimated how long the trend could continue, where it was suggesting that there could be a property crash around the corner, due to rising interest rates. There always could be a fall in the price of property, but equally there may not be. I think the book was written in 2013 and the property market has risen a further 50% since then. Anyone who read the book back in 2013, looking to get on the property ladder could now be priced out of the market. From that perspective, a follow up book is really required. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Thought Provoking Book *by K***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2014* Excellent timing for publication give the cynical pre-election boost being given by current government schemes to the housing market. Whilst not normally of the same political leanings as the author I found the first few chapters mirrored my practical experience of working in the housing market for most of my career. It is surprising how many things have different consequences from those stated by the politicians of all persuasions at the time. Definitely worth a read but draw your own conclusions don't just accept everything the author says. Probably best read in small chunks with each one considered carefully before moving on. I haven' yet got to the end but am enjoying the journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent analysis of Britain's housing crisis *by F***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2015* Excellent analysis of Britain's housing crisis. Far from just being a matter of building more, Dorling argues for root-and-branch reform of much of our housing policy and financing. There is lots of information here, not always as well organised as it could be, but everyone involved in housing has to read this and take what he says on board. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/56676293-all-that-is-solid-how-the-great-housing-disaster-defines](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/56676293-all-that-is-solid-how-the-great-housing-disaster-defines) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
