Beth Stratford is a political economist, a fellow at the New Economics Foundation, and a co-founder of the London Renters Union. She is currently finishing a PhD at the University of Leeds on the theory of economic rent, and the critical importance of diffusing rentier power as we move into a resource constrained (and growth constrained) future. She lectures at MSc level on the case for overhauling our housing, land and monetary systems, and has a background working as a campaigner on climate change and financial reform.
