Interesting and generous in spirit as always, although slightly disappointing to see you reference "What's wrong with economics", by a historian (albeit a great one), to attempt to fairly describe the economists viewpoint. Furthermore, describing the economists' view as "abstract", while referring to the critical geography / housing studies view as "empirical" and "material" seems a bit tendentious! It is precisely by omitting the quantitative economic perspective, anchored on the "material" measure of price/rent, that we end up in abstract normative territory! Nevertheless another interesting piece, and welcome to see the efforts towards methodological ecumenism! In light of your previous discussion of Ronan Lyon's work, Perhaps a dialogue could be fruitful? In any case, looking forward to the webinar, and thank you for your work.
