Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book arises from an investigation into the reasons for the high cost of building working-class dwellings in Scotland after World War I. The author explores the shortage of resources and labor, which combined with a sudden increase in demand to drive up prices. The author also discusses the state of housing in Scotland at the time, and the factors that contributed to the poor quality of housing for working-class people. The author concludes by offering recommendations for how to reduce the cost of building working-class housing, including extending the subsidy period for housing, reviewing the allocation of financial responsibility between the state and local authorities, and standardizing building materials. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of housing in Scotland, or in the economics of housing in general.
