This article, titled "Dialogues on Residential Accumulation: Housing Provision, Theory & Political Economy," explores the dynamics of capitalist housing provision and the tensions and contradictions within capitalist housing regimes. The author, Javier Moreno Zacarés, presents a framework called "residential accumulation" that examines the linkages between different stages of housing provision and the interplay between capitalist production and rent extraction. The article has received responses from commentators in various fields, raising questions about housing affordability, the reinvention of Marxist economic geography, the construction of a general theory of housing provision, and the hybrid nature of property accumulation. The article also delves into philosophical questions about the study of social systems and the understanding of historically embedded social processes. [Extracted from the article] |
