FROM CRISIS TO CATACLYSM: HOUSING FINANCIALIZATION AND THE EU, 2024

The present study was prepared for The Left in the European Parliament. It starts by noting that neoliberal policies began to be implemented well before the middle of the 2000s when public housing was privatized, and everyone was encouraged to borrow mortgage loans to become homeowners, ultimately ensuring the ongoing profitability of the real estate and banking business. Housing market prices continuously grew, the cities were redeveloped to serve the interests and resources of the better-off, and the waiting lists for social housing became longer and longer. The study offers a systemic critique of these interconnected phenomena beyond neoliberalism. They are manifestations of the housing crisis, inequalities, and injustices that we address as constitutive pieces of the housing question in capitalism at the juncture of economy and politics, capital and state, and markets and policies. Its Preamble discusses how has the housing crisis evolved and who is accountable for it, presents some related statistics, and highlights the aims of the study. Section I describes in detail and through concrete examples how housing markets and their financialization function. Chapter One presents general trends, as well as the shift from financialization through debt to financialization through wealth, the specific sectors of the private rental market, and the different financial actors that have transformed the housing market. Chapter Two discusses the economic context marked by the current global poly-crisis that reshapes the housing market trends. Section II focuses on policy-maker actors and processes. Chapter Three outlines the contribution of the neoliberal EU policies to housing financialization. Chapter Four invites the readers to learn about existing proposals to solve the housing crisis under financialized capitalism. Section III is dedicated to broader discussions about the housing question endemic to capitalism. Chapter Five gives an overview of the central role of the housing question in the capitalist political economy. We encourage the readers to go beyond the usual talk about neoliberalism toward understanding how capitalism inevitably creates the housing affordability crisis. This chapter also synthesizes the advancement of housing financialization in different stages of capitalism, culminating with its current financialized epoch. In Chapter Six, in the spirit of these findings, we argue that the European left must consider conceiving and implementing radical changes in the housing regime as part of a socialist alternative to capitalism. In the Epilogue, we eventually sustain that democratizing finance and the practices of a centrally planned non-profit financial system should inspire left-leaning politicians to contribute to overcoming housing financialization. Such initiatives cannot be imagined without economic democracy in workplaces and economic planning aimed at responding to people's needs in all territories; however, all-encompassing discussions, including all relevant aspects of the needed change, should be the subject of another paper.

Concluding paragraph After arriving home from the movies one night, I decided that I was not going to be a moviegoer anymore. I was tired of the problems involved in getting to the movies and dealing with the theater itself and some of the patrons. The next day I arranged to have cable TV service installed in my home. I may now see movies a bit later than other people, but I'll be more relaxed watching box office hits in the comfort of my own living room.

Post-traumatic stress and growth are common responses to adverse life events such as cancer. In this article, we establish how cancer becomes a "fertile land" for the emergence of stress and growth responses and analyze the main mechanisms involved. Stress-growth responses on adjusting to cancer is potentially determined by factors like the phase of the illness (e.g., initial phases vs. period of survivorship), patient's coping strategies, meaning-making, and relationships with significant others. We also review the mechanisms of constructive and adaptative stress-growth balances in cancer to study the predictors, interrelated associations, triggering mechanisms, long-term results, and specific trajectories of these two responses to cancer. Finally, we update the evidence on the role of these stress-growth associations in psychologically adjusting to cancer. Together with this evidence, we summarize preliminary results regarding the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions that aim to facilitate a constructive psychological balance between stress and growth in cancer patients. Recommendations for future research and gaps in knowledge on stress-growth processes in this illness are also highlighted. Researchers are encouraged to design and use psychotherapeutic interventions according to the dynamic and changeable patients' sources of stress and growth along the illness. Relevant insights are proposed to understand the inconsistency of stress-growth literature and to promote psychotherapeutic interventions to facilitate a constructive balance between these key responses in cancer.

Synchrony and Diachrony of Ancient Greek, 2021

This paper outlines the semantic path leading from grammatical values in Ancient Greek to those in Modern Greek. Particularly, the steps of the evolution from the role of preposition with separative meaning ("except") towards a connective particle with adversative meaning ("but") are focused, according to the semantic maps that universally encode the evolution of coordinating as well as subordinating particles.

The principal objective of this chapter is to trace the history of psychology as both an academic discipline and a profession, describe the current state of psychology in Ghana and the associated challenges and also identify prospects for future growth and development. Psychology as a taught course is presented, highlighting the fact that the classroom has been used mainly to train psychologists in Ghana. This is followed by a discussion on the practice of psychology as a profession in Ghana and the challenges that are encountered in this regard. We then identify opportunities available to Ghanaian psychologists to make psychology an indispensable discipline that can be leveraged for national development. Finally, the prospects for indigenizing psychology are identified and discussed.
