Biography
Manuel B. Aalbers is Associate Professor of Human Geography at KU Leuven/University of Leuven, Belgium, where he leads an ERC project and research group on the intersection of real estate, finance and states.
"The book will be of cross-disciplinary interest and will appeal to economists, economic geographers and anyone interested in housing systems, financialisation and the conceptualisation of increasing global interdependencies and their consequences. Certainly recommended reading for any housing scholar."
