Making Room: The Economics of Homelessness

by Brendan O'Flaherty

Book Overview

Mentally ill people turned out of institutions, crack-cocaine use on the rise, more poverty, public housing a shambles: as attempts to explain homelessness multiply so do the homeless - and we still don't know why. This is a story about markets, not about the bad habits or pathology of individuals.
