No Place Like Home: Wealth, Community & The Politics of Homeownership
Join us for a talk with Brian McCabe on his new book, which looks at the challenges associated with our commitment to homeownership.
Description:

Tracing the origins of our commitment to homeownership to the early-twentieth century, the book offers a unique perspective on the enduring place homeownership continues to hold in the wake of the housing crisis.
