"A welcome and worthwhile contribution that brings a social critique of landlordism into contemporary academic economics."Jacobin"One of the most comprehensive accounts to date of the resurgence of private renting across high income economies. Sophisticated and compelling."International Journal of Housing Policy"An ambitious and timely contribution to a field that has frequently struggled to integrate macro-structural analysis with the experience of being a tenant. It deserves a wide readership among housing scholars, urban researchers, and graduate students."Journal of Urban Affairs"'There's no place like home.'" Beyond Generation Rent is a studied and decisive intervention that uses — and improves — the tools of political economy to rethink rent, home and the housing question. It offers new analytics to take on and take seriously the fundamental injustice of property relations, which forces tenants to make their lives in someone else's spare house."Tracy Rosenthal, author of Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End the Housing Crisis"Michael Byrne has produced a compelling synthesis of contemporary literature on private renting, tenant experiences, financialization and the political economy of housing, which sets out the many challenges facing tenants across the countries studied and discussed in this book. For readers wanting to understand the challenges facing the sector, and to debate ways forward, this should be required reading."Ken Gibb, University of Glasgow
