ABSTRACT

Encouraging cost renting to expand or suppressing it (by either counteracting the maturation process or withdrawing its benefits from tenants) amount to two principal and opposing ways of treating cost renting. We will see in Part II when we look at concrete examples that this is a very crude over-simplification, and a more nuanced model of policy constructivist strategies will be developed later. For now, we may consider the two polar types of strategy towards cost rentingencouraging and suppressing-in their broadest and simplest outline.
