Charles Abrams (September 20, 1901 – February 22, 1970) was a Polish-born American lawyer, author, urbanist, and housing expert who created the New York Housing Authority of New York City in the 1960s.〔〔Anna McCarthy (2003) ''(Television, Culture, and Citizenship at the Ford Foundation )'' Working Paper: #13 November 2003 The Cold War as Global Conflict - International Center for Advanced Studies New York University〕 He was one of the first to use to use the expression "Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor."〔Michael Harrington (1962) ''The Other America'', p.58, quote: ''This is yet another case of "socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor," as described by Charles Abrams in the housing field''〕 In 1936, the US Supreme Court established, in ''New York City Housing Authority v. Muller'', the Authority's right to employ the power of eminent domain for slum-clearing purposes. The decision gave a broader meaning to the term ''public use'' and represented a victory for Abrams, the Authority's first counsel. From 1955-1959, Abrams served as head of the New York State Commission Against Discrimination, afterwards serving as president of the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing from 1961-1965. ==Works== *''Revolution in Land'', Harper & Brothers, 1939; Arno Press, 1979, ISBN 9780405113161 *''A housing program for America'', League for Industrial Democracy, 1947 *''The city is the frontier'', Harper & Row, 1965 *''Man's Struggle for Shelter: In an Urbanizing World'', Mit Press, 1966, ISBN 9780262510011 *'' The language of cities; a glossary of terms,'' Volume 14, Viking Press, 1971 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Abrams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
