Key take away:
Supply of housing kept up with population but big demand shock in 1980s when banks entered loan market (Building Societies funded by members had limited funds which kept prices down).
Then Capital Adequacy regime made mortgage lending cheaper than industrial investment.
And boom!

A richer historical take is set out in Pocock"s "The Machivellian Moment" which is a fantastic history of republican thought. The first few chapters are stunning.
Add an aside Pocock taught Nic von Tunzelmann who taught me and we developed the SPRU 1.01 course.

It clearly explains the ideas and their influence
