Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Homes in Old Countries The Swedes have a name for it. An owned home is called by them a "fastighet." "Fastighet" means security. The word is not an accident. It is rooted in the deep convictions of a people who believe that a nation of home owners is strong in times of national and political contention, and that the man who owns his home has a better chance to weather economic storms, and, in times of personal misfortune, to safeguard the things in life he most prizes. Anyone visiting Sweden today is bound to feel that the word has lost none of its ancient meaning, but rather that present day national policies and individual instinct have given these convictions new force and vigor. Not only in Sweden is this impulse apparent but in Europe as a whole. Increasingly are the policies of European governments being directed towards the encouragement of home ownership, both as a form of general social insurance and as security for the individual family. They recognize that plans for social insurance which would give money to the sick and unemployed cannot always be carried out and that the family which owns its habitation has the best foundation upon which its welfare can be rebuilt. In America, with its vast expanses, ownership of the free standing home is among its most fundamental traditions.
