Omschrijving
When landlords always win and renters pay the price, what can be done?
A powerful weapon against those who think that building is the answer to everything
A devastating, forensic, careful, considered attack on the bustard landlords and every lie, nastiness and evil that they represent.
One of the best and most rigorous explanations of how the current system is rigged in favour of landlords and why that needs to change.
Incisive and righteously indignant. With the experience of a barrister and the sensibility of an activist, Nick Bano helps us imagine an alternative social and economic order: a world without landlordism.
This is a really important contribution to the debate and a vital corrective. Nick Bano lays out in clear and succinct language the real cause of the housing crisis, which is that it is, above all, a crisis of price caused by high rents.
Essential reading for everyone in the housing movement, and anyone else who wants to understand the central role of housing-wealth generation and exploitation in the British economy. Debunking conventional thinking about the housing system, Against Landlords offers a clear and convincing explanation of how we got into the current crisis, and, most importantly, how we can begin to get out of it.
So much more than 'another book about the housing crisis', Against Landlords is a book which takes aim at lazy thinking on all sides of the housing debate. Rooted in a deep knowledge of housing law - and its effects on those whose lives are made miserable by Britain's housing system - Bano combines histories from both below and above. He describes with controlled anger how the British state consciously created a landlord's paradise, and how easily things could be otherwise. Indeed, as he makes clear against fashionable fatalism, we've solved this problem before, and could so again.
Against Landlords is an incisive and engaging take on the housing crisis, with some crucial commentary that anyone interested in housing would benefit from reading.
Uncomfortably relevant ... reading Against Landlords right now is rather like flipping through Peter Benchley's Jaws while sitting in a rapidly deflating rubber dingy and being circled by some very pointy fins ... Bano has proven he has the courage to show some much-needed imagination, while most commentary and debate around housing in the UK is typified by a depressing lack thereof.
Nick Bano is an author and Barrister who specialises in representing homeless people, residential occupiers, and destitute and migrant households. he has written in Tribune, the New Socialist, and Jacobin.
