{"product_id":"the-tenant-class","title":"The Tenant Class","description":"\u003cp\u003e In this trailblazing manifesto, political economist Ricardo Tranjan places tenants and landlords on either side of the class divide that splits North American society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e What if there is no housing crisis, but instead a housing market working exactly as intended? What if rent hikes and eviction notices aren’t the work of the invisible hand of the market, but of a parasitic elite systematically funneling wealth away from working-class families? With clarity and precision, Tranjan breaks down pervasive myths about renters, mom-and-pop landlords, and housing affordability. In a society where home ownership is seen as the most important hallmark of a successful life, Tranjan refuses to absolve the landlords and governments that reap massive profits from the status quo. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The tenant class must face powerful systems of disinformation and exploitation to secure decent homes and fair rent. Drawing upon a long, inspiring history of collective action in Canada, Tranjan argues that organized tenants have the power to fight back. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ricardo Tranjan (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":46293781381378,"sku":"9781771136228","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/0012\/8514\/files\/BNCImageAPI_47a7d787-41e5-4854-abbc-acb51ebdc9b2.jpg?v=1750972394","url":"https:\/\/www.downtowncomics.ca\/products\/the-tenant-class","provider":"Downtown Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
