Automated landlord: Digital technologies and post-crisis financial accumulation (2019, background): “…how information technology has fundamentally remade the spaces, practices, and cultures of financial markets (e.g. MacKenzie, 2016; Zaloom, 2006), but rarely consider housing a “key object of financialization” (Aalbers, 2017: 542; though see MacKenzie, 2011; Poon, 2009 for relevant contributions).”
The financialization of Canadian multi-family rental housing: From trailer to tower (2020, background): “Like neoliberalism (Brenner & Theodore, 2002), it is a hegemonic but also variegated phenomenon (Aalbers, 2017), playing out unevenly on the ground within and between cities, regions, and nations.”
