Abstract
This article examines Swedish housing policy during the postwar period. It looks at the extent to which Social Democratic housing goals have been met, and some reasons for the successes and failures of Swedish housing programs. Of particular interest is the effort to steer housing production toward nonmarket alternatives, by means of "socialist market" mechanisms. Some of the problems created by this hybrid approach are identified and current efforts to resolve them are discussed.Keywords
