"This book should
be
read by any'
one who worries about the fate of
our economy and what might
be
done about it." -Barry Bluestone,
co,author of 'The
Deindustrializa,
tion of
America
Most of current debate surround,
ing industrial policy and'the eco,
nomic crisis is mired within the
ideological and political framework
of recapitalization - the belief
that increasing the power and
profitability of private capital will
magically solve both the short,run
and deeper -structural problems of
a faltering economy. While many
books on the economic difficulties
of the United States are now
appearing, this is one of the very
few to connect an economic cri,
tique of current policies with a
realistic politics of coalitions and
movements.

This collection of original essays
by the country's leading progres,
sive housing analysts and activists
provides both a realistic appraisal
and a structural analysis of the
current crisis - from sharply in'
f1ating costs for owners and rent,
ers, high interest rates and short,
age of credit, increasing mortgage
foreclosures, and high building
trades unemployment, to mount'
ing displacement of low,income
people, neighborhood deteriora,
tion, and cutbacks in federal hous,
ing and community development
programs. The authors present
practical and humane political aI,
ternatives to current market'
oriented policies in a framework
which views decent, affordable
housing as an entitlement.
