The cost of renting and the cost of living
I recently wrote an article for the website, openDemocracy. It's a bit more academically rigorous (well, quite a lot more actually) than much of what I write on my blog, but I'm quite happy with it. The subject is a look at how to make hardship a little less hard, and whether we should increase wages for poor people, or do something to reduce the rents that poor people pay out to landlords... my argument is that reducing rents is by some way the more meaningful of the two approaches, see what you think.

Great to meet you the the other night (sorry, can't find any other way of getting in touch). I feel I ought to have asked your advice on round-the-world cycling, but you're probably fed up of that anyway! Hope you enjoyed the ride (oh, wasn't it a beautiful night!), and do give me a shout if you see me on the road in the next six weeks.
