Some of his ideas he communicated in a blog for us a while back - still worth a read!

Very very fun afternoon interviewing my good pal Isaac Rose on his book, The Rentier City. We touch on everything from the centrality of Manchester in the colonial cotton trade, the black music which influenced the city, the homogenisation of culture and, of course, yimbys.

I'm speaking next wk on 'Chinese investment in Manchester' organised REDEFINE_ERC

I'll be setting out the different forms/flows of this state-capitalist 'investment' across real estate/infrastructure sectors + critical implications for the city-region

the very idea that the housing market (and prices) is something that exists outwith our control, that is an ineffable-like entity that we are unable to regulate, completely ignores the political and economic history of the last century which created it. this is tiresome!
