Sinopse

Urban Housing Crisis examines why affordable housing is increasingly unattainable in growing cities, attributing the issue to policy choices and market failures. The book argues that the crisis isn't a natural outcome but a consequence of factors like real estate speculation and exclusionary zoning. Understanding these roots is crucial for equitable housing solutions.

 
The book traces the history of housing policy and introduces concepts like gentrification. It analyzes the impact of market forces, the shortcomings of existing policies (such as ineffective subsidies), and potential solutions like community land trusts. It utilizes empirical data and case studies to support its arguments.

 
By integrating insights from economics, sociology, and political science, the book offers a holistic view of the crisis. It adopts an analytical approach, presenting complex information clearly and engagingly.

 
The book progresses by first establishing historical context, then dissecting market failures and policy shortcomings, and finally proposing innovative solutions for urban development.

    Why War?

    Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
     
     
     
    Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
     
     
     
    A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.
