Reviews

Suttor recognizes that many elements have gone into the making of social housing policy. Apart from the more obvious economic & political considerations, these include institutional inertia and the impact of key individuals. Complex and balanced, his account is thoroughly convincing. Richard Harris, McMaster University Suttor outlines in considerable detail the effect of the main drivers of policy: reconstruction imperatives after the war, rapid growth and urbanization, the influence of policy initiatives in other countries, labour politics, economic trends, the broader housing market trends, federal-provincial relations, broader welfare trends, and the influence of particular politicians and policy experts. I doubt there is another publication on Canadian social housing policy that provides this level of detail on the policy shifts and the causes of these shifts over this sixty-plus-year period. Tom Carter, University of Winnipeg
