Excellent- More about The Rentier City: Making Modern Manchester
Manchester's transformation since the financial crisis has been profound, with capital flooding in and rents rocketing. This has led to stark inequalities, but its roots lie in the city's political journey since the 1980s. Isaac Rose's book "The Rentier City" explores how and why Manchester became the poster-child for neoliberal development, examining the cultural commodification and the rise of the rentier. It provides a toolkit for renters to fight back against rising rents, gentrification, and the financialization of the places they live.

Manchester's transformation since the financial crisis has been profound, with capital flooding into the city and transforming its skyline. However, it remains a city of stark inequalities, with some of the poorest wards in the country. This transformation has its roots in the long story of the city's political journey since the 1980s, with the defeat of municipal socialism and the embrace of urban entrepreneurialism. In The Rentier City, tenant organizer Isaac Rose traces the contemporary history of Manchester, examining how and why it became the poster-child for neoliberal development.
Exploring the cultural commodification that Manchester pioneered in its pursuit of the creative class and the rise of the rentier, Rose lays bare the results of this experiment. Tracking the triumphs and failures of those who have sought to fight back, he shows us what life is like for those who make a home in the shadow of the towers.
Bursting the bubble of the boosters and giving renters a toolkit for reclaiming their homes, communities, and cities from Big Capital, The Rentier City punctures the hypocrisies that surround the Manchester miracle, showing how everyone can fight back against rising rents, gentrification, and the financialization of the places they live.
