Abstract

Focusing on policy feedback, this article examines the influence, four decades after its enactment, of Margaret Thatcher’s 1980 ‘Right to Buy’ (RtB) policy on today’s social housing institutions in the UK. We argue that through interest-group feedback mechanisms, RtB helped expand and reinforce the UK landlord class. Furthermore, we assert that the policy pressures placed on local councils to embody housing within the welfare state contributed to a path-dependent, privatisation feedback mechanism. More generally, an analysis of the UK case is important as it could help us think about housing privatisation in terms of policy feedback and long-term historical legacies.

撒切尔40岁时的“购买权”改革:对英国社会住房政策的政策反馈分析

本文着眼于政策反馈，考察了玛格丽特·撒切尔1980年的“购买权”(RtB)政策在其颁布40年后对当今英国社会住房制度的影响。我们认为，通过利益集团反馈机制，RtB帮助扩大和加强了英国地主阶级。此外，我们断言，地方议会在福利国家内体现住房的政策压力促成了路径依赖的私有化反馈机制。更广泛地说，对英国案例的分析很重要，因为它可以帮助我们从政策反馈和长期历史遗产的角度思考住房私有化。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
