Opis

Paris provides a distinctive analysis of the growth of second home ownership, as rapidly increasing numbers of households own two or more homes for residential and leisure use. Taking a sociological perspective he relates second home ownership to debates about globalization, gentrification, hyper-consumption and inequality.
