"This is a big book in every sense: spirit, vision and coverage. It
is an impressive piece of scholarship which will become a marker
for all studies of housing and related policy issues. This is the
first really comprehensive attempt to discuss the history of
housing policy issues in the context of the political and economic
processes of the last 150 years. It is the best piece of sustained
comparative research I know of in the field. It should be of
interest to those in various fields of social policy studies as
well as housing. Scholars, policy makers and administrators will
simply have to read this book. Its breadth and depth of coverage,
and the sophistication of its exploration of theoretical issues,
confirm Harloe as one of the major social scientists in housing and
related areas of study." - Patrick Troy, Australian National
University."The People's Home" examines the development of social
rented housing over the last hundred years in Britain, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and the USA. It is based on 15
years of research in these countries and a challenging analysis of
the socio-economic and political determinants of social housing
provision. Rejecting previous comparative studies, which focus
narrowly on the immediate determinants of housing provision, "The
People's Home" shows how social housing policies and outcomes have
been shaped by broader societal forces - political conflict,
economic modernisation, and, most recently, the growth of
inequality and social polarization. This important book ends by
discussing the implications of this analysis for recent theories of
welfare state development, or regimes of 'welfare capitalism', and
for the nature of state housing policies in such societies.
