Homelessness, Capitalism, Public Perception, COVID-19, and the Problem of Ghost Jobs
1. Homelessness, Capitalism, and Public Perception
One theory about homelessness is that policies making life increasingly difficult for homeless people may be driven less by personal hatred and more by economic incentives, assumptions about poverty, and the belief that people experiencing homelessness simply refuse to work.
Some people assume that homelessness results from laziness or poor decisions. Although some individuals make decisions that worsen their circumstances, others face circumstances beyond their control. Some may also refuse certain housing arrangements for reasons that others consider unwise. However, these cases should not define the entire homeless population.
