3. Tax landlords
4. Build more public housing

It seems my already shaky willpower is failing…

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.

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

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

Schade. Ich hab immer gern bei #VersoBooks bestellt und viele spannende Bücher dort gefunden. Aber eine solche hasserfüllte Rhetorik und Positionierung kann ich nicht mehr unterstützen. Da werde ich von nun an woanders auf Büchersuche gehen.
