Bibliography for Capitalism & The Housing Crisis series

Will be updating this post with sources for later parts of the series

The following sources are for Volume 1 only, which consists of Part 1 to Part 7 — and if you’re here from my youtube channel, this is equivalent to Part 1 of the video-essay series (title: Capitalism & The Housing Crisis: Our Crisis Is Their Fortune).

Later I will update this bibliography to include the rest of the series. All the sources are already embedded in the posts as hyperlinks, so this bibliography is mainly for the people who watch my videos (hello! — I have no Medium followers yet so you’re probably the only ones here).
