Abolish Rent by Rachel Rosenthal
Argues that charging rent is a political choice that generates profit for landlords while producing displacement, precarity, and racialized dispossession; traces the history of housing as speculative property and lays out concrete alternatives — mass publicly funded housing, community land trusts and cooperative ownership, municipalization and land-value taxation, rent cancellation in the short term — paired with tenant organizing, reparative measures for communities harmed by dispossession, and legal and political strategies to transfer housing into collective or public control; frames ending rent as part of a broader anti-capitalist, anti-racist movement and offers case studies and tactical advice for building the power to make housing a social right.
