Summary

Housing Supply Limits examines how zoning restrictions and building constraints contribute to skyrocketing housing prices and limited availability. It explores the economic and political factors that artificially limit housing supply, impacting individuals, families, and the broader economy.

 
Did you know that single-family zoning, often rooted in historical planning, can inadvertently stifle innovation, limiting housing options? Or that lengthy permitting processes significantly delay housing development, adding costs and exacerbating existing shortages?

 
The book progresses from fundamental economic principles to dissecting zoning regulations and building constraints. It analyzes the economic consequences of these restrictions, such as wealth inequality, and then explores potential policy solutions.

 
By using real-world examples and data-driven assessments, the book argues that reforming these policies is essential for increasing housing supply and promoting economic opportunity. It explains the impact of density restrictions and height limits on housing affordability.

 
Ultimately, Housing Supply Limits offers a balanced analysis of a complex issue, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, real estate professionals, and concerned citizens seeking to understand and address the housing crisis. The book's approach, blending economic modeling, case studies, and legal analysis, provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between housing supply, housing affordability, and public policy.

    Mission Zero is a landmark independent report into the delivery of the UK's commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Chaired by Chris Skidmore, the UK's former Energy Minister who was responsible for signing net zero into law, its conclusions set out, for the very first time, a new economic narrative for climate policy, demonstrating the vast financial opportunity that net zero can deliver.
This timely and crucial report acts as a template for how all countries can map out future challenges and opportunities and, above all, deliver their own pathway to net zero while also creating new jobs, industries and investment for the future.
Commissioned by the UK's Prime Minister in September 2022, Mission Zero is the largest engagement exercise on net zero conducted to date and has been widely recognised as the most informative and detailed document on the topic, covering every sector and aspect of society. This important book is a vital piece of work and an indispensable must-read for anyone interested in energy, climate and sustainability policy.

    Traditionally, far-right terrorism has been the black swan of terrorism studies—receiving less attention than Jihadi extremism. In this book, William Allchorn takes a deep dive into multiple geographical locales and the online space of far-right movements, uncovering the crisis narratives that are animating violent far-right extremist milieus and presenting solutions on what we can do to stop them. Using eight country case studies and the results of an online pilot project, this is the first book-length presentation and discussion of counter techniques to far-right narratives—exploring their effectiveness, the ethics of such techniques, and their ability to disrupt pathways from radicalism towards violent extremism. Coming at a time of a renewed global wave of far-right violence, this book is of use to scholars as well as practitioners in the fields of far-right studies, terrorism studies, and strategic communications.

    The Broken Mirror - Adapting in...

    In an age where connectivity has reached unprecedented heights, humanity paradoxically experiences intensified solitude. The Internet, social media, and digital communication tools promise constant interaction, yet beneath the veneer of perpetual engagement lies a profound sense of detachment. We have woven an expansive digital web, intricately threading through every dimension of our lives. Yet, far from binding us together in deeper and more meaningful ways, this net has fragmented our relationships, distorted our sense of self, and left us lonelier than ever. 
Indeed, the irony of our modern era is that as connectivity increases, isolation intensifies. Rather than fostering intimacy, the digital world frequently reduces interactions to hollow performances, substituting genuine human connection with a relentless pursuit of validation. We inhabit a world where messages traverse the globe instantaneously, yet conversations grow superficial; friendships are quantified by follower counts rather than measured by emotional depth; and love becomes mediated through glowing screens, stripped of warmth, tactile presence, and vulnerable authenticity.
