AddressFive Leaves Ltd t/a Five Leaves Bookshop, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 2DH T: 0115 837 3097 W: www.fiveleavesbookshop.co.ukStart date 01-05-2024 Offer DetailsBritain has become a nation of renters and landlords. Building more housing is not the solution. Housing crisis lawyer Nick Bano proposes that it is rent not house prices that is at the core of the problem. Against Landlords shows that a permanent crisis is not a happenstance of global economics or political incompetence, but has been engineered on purpose. Such a crisis has resulted in the fire at Grenfell and widespread precarity for renters. Bano’s radical diagnosis show why the solutions proscribed by diverse experts have gone wrong, and what we should do about. Nick Bano is an author and Barrister who specialises in representing homeless people, residential occupiers, and destitute and migrant households. His book – Against Landlords – will be discounted at the event Refreshments included. https://fiveleavesbookshop.co.uk/events/against-landlords-how-to-solve-the-housing-crisis-with-nick-bano/ Share |
