As tenants worldwide confront neoliberal policies and housing financialization, the struggles of today can learn important lessons from a past full of hope, anger, victories, and defeats.

Hope you download it, read it, and spread the word!

The book explores the long transnational history of tenant struggles for housing rights.

It includes case studies from the early 20th century to today in the United States, Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Sweden, Spain, Greece, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.

Macrostatistieken kunnen er op papier mooi uitzien, maar achter de “discipline” van Milei zit een enorme sociale kost. Minder productie, minder banen, meer armoede.

Een rapport van El Economista spreekt zelfs van 16.322 bedrijven gesloten in 18 maanden – gemiddeld 28 per dag – en 236.000 banen verdwenen. Ironisch dat juist de VVD, altijd bezorgd om “werken moet lonen” en “ondernemers steunen”, dit als voorbeeld ziet.

Volgens Infobae (20/10/2025) verdwenen alleen al in de provincie Buenos Aires 4.479 bedrijven en 88.460 formele banen sinds Milei aantrad. Vooral bouw en industrie kregen zware klappen: –18,7 % en –25.000 jobs per sector

yes, exactly. Of course this has the problem of proportions, not always is possible to have such a ratio teacher:students, but I think there are alternatives that work. For instance convert a 10-15 people class into a "workshop" in which students "defend" their work in a roundtable format.

Yes, during my BA in Argentina most of the final exams were oral. I wouldn't say I enjoy them but the process of studying for them was certainly useful.

Agree! My essay is quite limited in scope to my own experience teaching in university in the field of history.

you are the overwhelming minority!

sí, es que me parece la explicación más probable. Otra posibilidad es que haya sido un chat muy largo en el cual dejó de usar el contexto grounded del RAG y se basó solo en el LLM.

es raro... será que el OCR que hizo no es bueno y reemplazó lo que no se leía bien por cosas "plausibles" pero no reales? Probaste subir el mismo PDF de nuevo, pero con un OCR bien hecho con otra herramienta?

pero la in-line citation te tiene que dirigir a uno de los PDFs que subiste, o no?
