Lawrence J. Vale's groundbreaking book is both a comprehensive institutional history of public housing in Boston and a broader examination of the nature and extent of public obligation to house socially and economically marginal Americans during the past 350 years. First, Vale highlights startling continuities both in the way housing assistance has been delivered to the American poor and in the policies used to reward the nonpoor. He traces the stormy history of the Boston Housing Authority, a saga of entrenched patronage and virulent racism tempered, and partially overcome, by the efforts of unyielding reformers. He explores the birth of public housing as a program intended to reward the upwardly mobile working poor, details its painful transformation into a system designed to cope with society's least advantaged, and questions current policy efforts aimed at returning to a system of rewards for responsible members of the working class. The troubled story of Boston public housing exposes the mixed motives and ideological complexity that have long characterized housing in America, from the Puritans to the projects. 606 $aPublic housing$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xHistory 606 $aHousing policy$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xHistory 606 $aPoor$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPublic housing$xHistory. 615 0$aHousing policy$xHistory. 615 0$aPoor$xHistory. 676 $a363.5850974461 700 $aVale$b Lawrence J.$f1959-$0298590 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455111403321 996 $aFrom the Puritans to the projects$91974166 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04637nam 2200565 450 001 9910797253303321 005 20230126212945.0 010 $a1-5381-2175-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000420490 035 $a(EBL)2064137 035 $a(OCoLC)910845548 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001497523 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12621185 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001497523 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11495167 035 $a(PQKB)11715493 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2064137 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000420490 100 $a20150617h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDigital is destroying everything $ewhat the tech giants won't tell you about how robots, big data, and algorithms are radically remaking your future /$fAndrew V.

Digital has created some wonderful things and we can hardly imagine life without them. But digital?the most relentless social and economic juggernaut humanity has unleashed in centuries?is also destroying much we had taken for granted. And what is your place in this brave new world? In Digital Is Destroying Everything, futurist and digital marketing consultant Andrew Edwards tours the ?blasted heath? digital is leaving behind and takes a fearless look at the troubled landscape that may lie ahead. The book is not, despite its title, a dystopian rant against all things digital and technological. Instead, expect to find a lively investigation into the ways digital has opened us to new and sometimes quite wonderful experiences, driven down costs for consumers, and given information a chance to be free. But the book also takes a clear-eyed look at many of the good (and sometimes bad) things?businesses and behaviors?digital has destroyed, and how the world may be diminished, compromised, and altered forever in its wake. This tour of the effects of digital technologies on our lives is sure to raise questions, touch a nerve, and enlighten even the most dedicated digital enthusiasts. 606 $aAutomation$xSocial aspects 606 $aTechnology$xSocial aspects 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects 606 $aElectronic data processing$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAutomation$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aTechnology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aElectronic data processing$xSocial aspects. 676 $a303.483 700 $aEdwards$b Andrew V.$f1956-$01578184 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797253303321 996 $aDigital is destroying everything$93857375 997 $aUNINA
