Article Abstract:

The presumption prevailing in the U. K. that wealth and owning one's own home go hand in hand is questioned. Combining living and investing has undesirable effects and it would benefit the country's economy if the same rate of capital gains tax was levied on homes as on business investment thus encouraging renting rather than owning of homes.
