Rent and Its Discontents

Transforming Capitalism

Series Editors:

Ian Bruff, University of Manchester; Julie Cupples, University of Edinburgh; Gemma Edwards, University of Manchester; Laura Horn, University of Roskilde; Simon Springer, University of Victoria; Jacqui True, Monash University

This book series provides an open platform for the publication of path-breaking and interdisciplinary scholarship which seeks to understand and critique capitalism along four key lines: crisis, development, inequality, and resistance. At its core lies the assumption that the world is in various states of transformation, and that these transformations may build upon earlier paths of change and conflict while also potentially producing new forms of crisis, development, inequality, and resistance. Through this approach the series alerts us to how capitalism is always evolving and hints at how we could also transform capitalism itself through our own actions. It is rooted in the vibrant, broad and pluralistic debates spanning a range of approaches which are being practised in a number of fields and disciplines. As such, it will appeal to sociology, geography, cultural studies, international studies, development, social theory, politics, labour and welfare studies, economics, anthropology, law, and more.

I want to thank the Transforming Capitalism series editors, Ian Bruff, Julie Cupples, Gemma Edwards, Laura Horn, Simon Springer and Jacqui True, for supporting the publication of this book. Thanks also to Tom Slater who initially suggested the series, and to series editor Julie Cupples who ran with the idea. Much gratitude to all the contributors for timely submissions and commitment to the project, and especially to Hamish Kallin for also contributing the cover artwork. Special thanks to Bechaela Walker, Cian OCallaghan, Hamish Kallin, Joey Simons and Mick Byrne for engaged feedback on my own contributions, and to my partner Bechaela and son Gene, for patience and support. I also want to thank editors and friends from Variant and Mute magazines, who have provided many opportunities for me to develop my thinking and writing on urbanization and the housing question over the years.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Jenni Marrow of Pennywell/Muirhouse Edinburgh, a committed housing activist who taught me, and many others, a great deal about housing and tenant organization.
