“Unwinding neoliberalism is the key challenge in housing politics”
In this Tortoise Shack episode, Tony sits down with Mick Byrne, an Associate Professor of Social Policy at UCD, to discuss his excellent piece on the historic Spanish housing proposals and what it means for a housing system trying to unravel decades of neoliberal policies.
Spain has ignited significant public unrest, leading to protests that have captured not only national attention but also given a template to housing activists internationally.
Tony and Mick debate this in the context of the Irish system. It is a friendly disavowal of one another.
