“Wealth And Property” explores the intricate relationship between homeownership and wealth accumulation, challenging the notion that owning a home automatically leads to financial security. The book examines tangible assets, mortgage debt's dual role, and the impact of homeownership on overall investment strategies. It offers a historical perspective, tracing the evolution of housing policies and incentives to understand the current housing market complexities.

The book emphasizes that homeownership's wealth-building potential depends on factors like location, timing, and financial discipline. It analyzes the direct financial benefits, such as capital appreciation and tax advantages, alongside costs like property taxes and maintenance. By using economic analyses, case studies, and housing market data, the book provides practical guidelines for evaluating homeownership's potential and informs policy recommendations.

The book progresses logically, beginning with core definitions, then exploring financial and behavioral aspects, and concluding with evidence-based guidelines. It’s a valuable resource for prospective homeowners, financial advisors, and policymakers seeking to understand the economics of homeownership and promote sustainable housing policies.
