Histórias que se mantêm atuais

Daniel Pimenta

Um livro que partilha a experiência no mercado de arrendamento de várias famílias no limiar da pobreza. Apesar de se passar ni início da grande crise de 2008, muitas das histórias mantém-se atuais e relevantes e faz nos pensar o quanto valorizamos ganhos monetários em prol do bem estar de terceiros, negando um dos direitos fundamentais, a habitação.
