A Theory of Housing Provision under Capitalism

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the critical role of housing in capitalism, the book presents a Marxist analysis that highlights how capital circulation through housing influences labor relations and housing outcomes. Berry examines the interplay between building, property, and interest-bearing capital, explaining urban land rent through Marx's concepts. The text also discusses housing's significance for labor power reproduction and the creation of a domestic sphere shaped by gender and class. Additionally, it analyzes state interventions in housing and their effects on capital circulation and class dynamics.
