- Spatializing energy justice (2017, background): “For example, it has been found that the stigma associated with poverty and ‘under-consumption’ is often strongest in societies with greater economic inequalities (Pickett and Wilkinson, 2012; Sayer, 2014), and where public discourses that suggest the poor are personally responsible for their poverty”
- The Routledge International Handbook of Financialization (2020, background): “On the one hand, capital takes the character of a power-based, “parasitic” claim on the productive resources of the economy, restoring in some sense the “feudal” past of capitalism as it redistributes resources ruthlessly upward (Neckel 2010; Sayer 2016).”
- The Handbook of Neoliberalism (2016, background): “Land value (so often ignored in discussions of housing costs) is not created from owning land – it is created from collective social investments in land, which landowners capture as unearned income via private property rights (Sayer 2014).”
