520			_a"For over a quarter century our building industry, economy and Government have failed to provide this basic guarantee : new buildings will not rot. Leaky buildings are the result of an unfortunate confluence of industrial, legislative, historical and cultural factors. Collectively, these elements stubbornly continue to defy a full and final resolution. Featuring personal stories of homeowners faced with insurmountable repair costs of hundreds of thousands to their 'dream home', often leading to sickness, depression and financial loss. And revealed for the first time, withheld Government reports that estimate the total cost of leaky dwellings at $47 billion. Rottenomics is an engaging exposé into a national crisis that refuses to go away."--Back cover.
