Summary
<p>Dr Cameron Murray is the author of The Great Housing Hijack: The hoaxes and myths keeping prices high for renters and buyers in Australia. Cam is an urban economist who specialises in housing and he has, for a long time, been pushing against the idea that a more free market approach to housing will solve the crises of high rents, homelessness, and housing bubbles. In this, he has also drawn from his experience as a landlord and working in commercial real estate. He makes a conscious effort to understand how housing is built beyond econ101 fairy tales and has some really interesting takes for that reason.</p><br /><p>You can find the book here: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Cameron-K.-Murray-Great-Housing-Hijack-9781761470851</p><p>Cameron has a new YouTube channel too: https://www.youtube.com/@fresheconomicthinking</p><p>He also writes at https://www.fresheconomicthinking.com/</p><br /><p>Originally recorded on 22nd August, 2024.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
