Description
The Rentier City: Manchester and the Making of the Neoliberal Metropolis Over the last thirty years, Manchester has undergone a significant transformation, driven by corporate developers, rentier capitalists, and boosterist politicians. This process has replaced the city's working-class communities, public spaces, and affordable housing with luxury developments and a private rental market. The Rentier City explores this transformation, tracing the story of Manchester's evolution and its place within the broader history of the city. The book delves into the relationship between capital and our cities, highlighting the impact of rentier capitalism on urban development. By examining Manchester's experience, The Rentier City provides a blueprint for fighting back against rentier capitalism and reclaiming control of the cities we live in.
