@NoLuckLopez @EvComrade @Ozwobbly But it doesn’t wash together Gina Rinehart with a cleaner in a regional town!

@NoLuckLopez @EvComrade @Ozwobbly This lets you give specificity to the different permutations of the settler-colonial project, since settler landed property is mutable in individual size, function, etc, and it lets you talk directly about one of the key actors who make and remake settler societies.

Thrilled to share that my first publication has been accepted and will be out soon with one of my favorite academic journals of all time @ROAPEjournal (review of African political economy). Will let folks know when it’s live.

@Helenreflects I think there’s good reason why silent reading is _unheard_ of!

@kmunro_econ @wobblymole At the same time that mapping exercise can lead to problems, since it is essentially analysis by analogy, and analogies will fail us at some point. Where I end up, I have a restrained optimism about these ‘good concepts built from bad histories’.

@kmunro_econ @wobblymole I think that where it is correct (or good or useful), it is correct (ditto) in spite of bad history etc. This might be intellectual luck, or the ahistoric mapping of ideas ‘in the air’ of capitalism onto a feudal / transition history.

@grugstan This waveform view is essentially how Neil Smith looks at it in The New Urban Frontier – an expanding wave of rent gaps between actual and potential rents. And this is a general phenomenon within property, but takes on a particular bent when it washes thru working-class suburbs.

Rent controls = a Speed Limit for Rents – we keep kids safe around schools with speed limits, why not keep renters (and renting families) safe with speed limits on rent increases?

And renters need more than this budget offers them (i.e. nothing material) - Labor could provide immediate relief without spending a cent by controlling rents and finally ending unfair no grounds evictions.

@LeoPatRoss I think your intuition is right – it's basically a function of land values vs house/unit values, with each storey adding a lump of fixed costs. But whether the proportionate take-up declines with distance from city centre etc is contingent on zoning rules.
