Abstract: Abstract This chapter applies the concepts of social structures developed in Chapter 1. In particular the chapter investigates the implications of social structures in the production and provision of housing. We will divide economic actors qua decision makers into: the behaviourally most calculative or ‘economic’ (such as speculators), the lexical (such as consumers), and the most habitual (such as workers, subcontractors).
