GoblinReads reviewed Defying Displacement by Andrew Lee
Review of 'Defying Displacement' on 'Storygraph'
Short, witty, scathing, and full of experience. Lee offers a deeply researched but easily digestible refutation of the displacement economy. With examples of struggles from cities around the world (San Jose, Havana, Berlin, Shenzhen, Philadelphia) we see how gentrification isn't just a biproduct of late capitalism but a cornerstone that the global economy depends on to function.
