Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Homes in Old Countries
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 mean ing, but rather that present day national policies and individual instinct have given these convictions new force and vigor.
