“In reality, as the data shows, the world is not replacing fossil fuels with renewables – rather renewables are being layered upon an existing fossil fuel base.”

Ann Pettifor speaks for me!

Here's her six ways housing could be made for affordable in the UK:

1. Capital controls
2. Rent controls
3. Tax landlords
4. Build more public housing
5. Target second homes
6. Support first mortgages

And while I’m here, I highly recommend the Verso Book Club, particularly if you use an e-reader. Their least expensive tier - £8 per month in the UK - gives you every ebook they publish that month plus 50% off every website order of any physical title in their catalogue. The last two months alone have provided me with 19 new ebooks.

I love Verso and everything they represent!

#NowReading Georges Perec - The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise (Verso Books).

I’d never encountered this short work by Perec before, but it’s suffused with his typical playfulness and comic flair, while also being a prescient social commentary on the lowliness of the office worker and corporate control. Has a great foreword by Perec’s greatest translator and biographer, David Bellos.

Understanding Brecht - Walter Benjamin

My review of this beautiful little work from #versobooks I love Benjamin, he writes with such passion and grace and was taken from us far to early.

https://billsandbobs.blogspot.com/2025/01/understanding-brecht-walter-benjamin.html

Any recommendations for further books welcome, I do want to read more Brecht.

#FreePalestineNOW 🇵🇸

And here we have two dissenting points of view published on the same platform. The authors strongly disagree with each other, but neither one is calling for the "retraction" of the opposing author's essay. Quite unlike last month's debacle at #Guernica magazine, which is now being played out in #Academia. #Publishing #Literature #Politics #HWS #HWSColleges #Verso #VersoBooks #CeasefireNow https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/palestine-speaks-for-everyone & https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/there-can-be-no-critique
