Housing By Voluntary Enterprise (1903)

More about the book

Focusing on the early 20th-century housing crisis, the book critiques government intervention and advocates for voluntary enterprise as a solution. James Parsons emphasizes that private individuals and organizations should provide affordable housing, arguing that this method is more effective and responsive to community needs. He presents historical insights into housing conditions in England and the U.S., alongside case studies of successful voluntary projects. This work challenges conventional views on housing provision and offers a thought-provoking perspective on social welfare.
