ImplicationsOverall, this special issue suggests that since 2008 the policy-outcome gapbetween state ambitions and results for the public has significantly widened, with policymakers largely relying on market-friendly solutions that only entrench housing inequalities (Wetzstein, 2017). Indeed, rather than representing a turning point against neoliberalism, the post-2008 world has witnessed an intensification of the neoliberal project. The outcome everywhere is the reassertion of housing privatization policies alongside welfare state retrenchment, producing greater precariousness of work, income, and shelter, while boosting the power of rentiers to extract unearned income from property and land ownership. However, what is now different about the urban landscapes of Europe since the 2008 financial crisis is the rise of a new threat to secure, decent, and affordable housing from outside the nation-state in the shape of global financial actors scouring the planet for profitable opportunities. These include “global corporate landlords”(Beswick et al., 2016, p. 322), primarily private equity firms such as Blackstone and Goldman Sachs, acting like vulture capital to accumulate wealth from the urban dispossession of hundreds of thousands of households losing their homes from mortgage defaults by buying up repossessed homes and mortgage loan books from troubled banks. In turn, this is creating a market opportunity for institutional investors to engineer new dynamics of financialization (see Fields, in press).
