History proves high interest rates don’t affect home ownership because high rates make house prices affordable.

Millions of over-50s purchased property while paying a 10%-15% rate. They paid a higher rate on affordable homes, not low rates on unaffordable homes.
Big difference.

This is one of the very best essays on the sorry state of Britain after 14 years of Conservative government. Among many insights, the most revealing is Osborne’s gleeful declaration that austerity worked brilliantly in political terms - ignoring the damage to public services

Ayn Rand believed that the path to social harmony ran through the inferior masses’ acceptance of brutal rule by their natural superiors. Her perspective was wrong, and its implications were just as grim and nasty as her atrocious personality. jacobin.com/2024/03/ayn-ra…
