Description
The problem of rent is at the heart of many pressing social concerns in the 21st century. Joe Collins examines both concrete contexts and complex concepts to provide a comprehensive survey of the theories and debates surrounding rent and rentier capitalism. Through case studies of global gentrification, technological change, and extractivism, Collins reveals how rent is fundamental to the current dominant form of capitalist social organization across the globe. This book offers valuable insights into the role of rent in shaping our societies and provides a framework for understanding its impact on issues such as economic inequality and climate change. A useful resource for scholars and students of capitalism, property, political economy, and contemporary politics, this book provides a concise and accessible overview of the complex debates surrounding rent.
