Download or read book Why Can t You Afford a Home written by Josh Ryan-Collins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream. Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle. This engaging and topical book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why they can’t find an affordable home, and what we can do about it.

Book excerpt: Five years after fleeing Seattle for a fresh start in Georgia, Sam Hawkins returns, unsure if he's heading home or leaving it behind. His homecoming reunites him with his high school buddies, but after the initial fun and games he comes face-to-face with a stark reality: Unemployment sucks. Work's not much better when his boss rides him and his attempts to casually play the field in a small office blow up in his face. It all just makes quitting that much sweeter. When he finally scores a break, his faith that everything happens for a reason is restored. But the celebration doesn't last long. He wakes up in the park, bruised, battered, and minus one Hawkmobile. Enter 17-year-old Monica Dawsey, who soon begins monopolizing his time, much to the chagrin of his mother--not to mention hers. The hard-drinking Sam and his teenage girlfriend have a settling influence on each other, and they'll need it when life hands them a disappointment so bitter that even Sam can't reconcile it with his vision of fate.

Download or read book Seven Myths About Education written by Daisy Christodoulou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers: Facts prevent understanding Teacher-led instruction is passive The 21st century fundamentally changes everything You can always just look it up We should teach transferable skills Projects and activities are the best way to learn Teaching knowledge is indoctrination In each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice. Then, she explains exactly why it is a myth, with reference to the principles of modern cognitive science. She builds a powerful case explaining how governments and educational organisations around the world have let down teachers and pupils by promoting and even mandating evidence-less theory and bad practice. This blisteringly incisive and urgent text is essential reading for all teachers, teacher training students, policy makers, head teachers, researchers and academics around the world.
