Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Fossil fuels are the biggest driver of #inflation in almost every EU country. The ECB's response - hiking rates - makes it worse, choking off investment in the renewables that could shield us from these shocks. New research from our friends @neweconomics.bsky.social: euobserver.com/237215/fossi...

Interesting suggestion that HM Treasury might consider regulating private rents. Putting aside the obviously unwise one-year rent freeze suggested here, there’s several modern rent control systems to learn from like in Ireland, Scotland, Spain and France. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
