House Society
The world is in the midst of a deep and worsening housing crisis. It has caused rents to soar in Britain, millions to protest in Spain, and even a government to collapse in Sweden. Under a global ideology that exalts homeownership above all else, on every continent we see the greed of landlords trump the human need for housing.Yet we still think of housing as a symptom of other problems in our societies - of inequality, wages, or regulation. Award-winning human geographer Brett Christophers turns our understanding of housing upside-down, showing instead that housing itself drives these problems.Journeying across both hemispheres - from the scapegoating of migrants in Canada, the turning of Brazilian favelas into investment opportunities, to American corporations taking advantage of depopulation in Japan - Christophers reveals in stark terms how the relation between landlords and tenants makes all of our lives, and how everywhere renting exists marginalised in the shadow of homeownership.With incisive clarity and passion, House Society shows how different countries' housing crises have been made, and how, in turn, they are remaking our entire world. But Christophers shows that we can still choose to make housing - and our world - differently.

Rentier Capitalism
In this landmark book, the author of the acclaimed The New Enclosure provides a forensic examination of capitalism as it increasingly exists today in the 'advanced' economies of the Global North. Dominated by institutions and individuals profiting from the control of scarce, revenue-generating assets, Brett Christophers styles this contemporary socioeconomic system 'rentier capitalism', and he critically dissects its emergence, forms and implications. The empirical focus of Rentier Capitalism's critique is the United Kingdom, a country and political economy that today bear all the hallmarks of rentier ascendancy: immense concentration of resources, constrained competition, vast inequalities of income and wealth, and growing economic stagnation. From finance to land, intellectual property to infrastructure and natural resources to digital platforms, Christophers identifies the key types of assets that scaffold UK rentier capitalism, the key actors that control and profit from them and the key consequences for everyone else. With profound lessons for other countries subject to rentier dominance or its growing spectre, Christophers' examination of the UK case is indispensable to those wanting not just to understand rentierism but supplant it. Frequently invoked but never previously analysed and illuminated in all its depth and variety, rentier capitalism is here laid bare for the first time.
