What is gentrification? It isn’t just about what was once known as the hipster and is still known as the artist, the telltale warning signs of impending demographic change. It’s part of an entire political-economic order that has made real estate global capitalism’s most prized asset for storing wealth—one that has helped bend place-based urban governments to the will of mobile, and thus more powerful, capital. Dan interviews Samuel Stein on his book, Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State.
Come to The Dig’s Slavery’s Hinterlands symposium Thursday through Saturday in Rhode Island: facebook.com/events/661508874305008/
