hehe considering market propaganda in education, on every media it is hard for me to not challenge my “belief” on a daily basis.

unfortunately in your comment you repeating neoliberal propaganda, please check guardian article on “free market zone libertarian experiment” tldr it led to low wage sweatshops and workers repression (and spoiler even this libertarian experiment relied on governmental support)

for sure, there are many essential needs beyond housing and food. I cannot agree that it works well with food either, starving still exist even in “developed” countries. It looks you are trying to a patch something that really flawed. Unfortunately it is not a way. We should move away from profit oriented society and away from human exploitation.

depends on problem you are going to solve, if you want to provide people with affordable housing, then challenge your beliefs in almighty market.

if this topic is among your interests, this book allows you to dive deep with relative ease

Landlords do not build houses, they just rent them out. Housing, shelter call it whatever you like is human right and essential need, so it should not be a part of speculations for profits. Now you can see overpriced real estate because of investors who buy it and never live there. All this “helpers” who rent out their apartments bring more harm than benefit for society (they at least contribute to a price growth in real estate). Buildings could be constructed by government owned organizations in order to provide society with housing, no need in speculators to solve problems.

Sapiens is basically a simplification of a great book: The Outline of History, written by Herbert George Wells. So I highly recommend to read this as well, or if you havent read Sapiens yet, rather read The Outline of History. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/45368/45368-h/45368-h.htm

yeah, obviously all this neoliberal and libertarian ideology is completely serving interests of capitalists and the only goal of it is just to have more power to exploit workers. The interesting thing here is what oligarchs managed to spread both neoliberal and libertarian nonsense among working people. D. Harvey has an interesting take on this.

this bot is unsolicited, and provides misleading information. It should work either on request, or be blocked

cyberpunk dystopia is their marketing, you will get just oppression without any cyberpunk.

horrors of apartheid not bothered libertarians too much
