Zoning Versus Discretionary Planning System.
Housing Bubble and empty houses in London
Neo-Liberalism - Failures of the Private Sector, not the Public Sector. Erosion of Union rights, Deregulation (who needs health and safety?). Drive up Profits. 
Ironically the Corporations are supposedly taking risks, but government guarantee their profits.

With Michael Burke, economist and campaigner for the People's Assembly Against Austerity, and Mary Robertson, researcher on the housing crisis.

Feeling the effect of cuts to public services and benefits and the rising cost of living?
Want to know more about how we got here and what we can do about it?

For all those opposed to Government cuts: arm yourself with the facts at an open educational forum organised by the South East London People's Assembly Against Austerity

This meeting will encourage maximum discussion and participation to help us all increase our understanding of the economics of the cuts and the arguments for the alternative economic policies that are needed and possible - with help from experts but accessible for all.
