Al casero le pagas la hipoteca de la casa que te alquila. Pero le sobran 400 euros todos los meses, que los ahorra para la entrada de otro piso que también alquilará. Asi sucesivamente Este es el problema de vivienda. Es rentismo y especulación, y está partiendo a la sociedad

A cold case (over 160 years old): The effects of unification on Italy’s North-South divide
Few economic debates have lasted as long as the 160-year debate concerning the effects of Italian unification on the economies of Italy’s South and North. This column proposes a way to move the argument forward. The authors estimate the causal effects of unification on the agricultural share, literacy rates, and railway density in the South and the Centre-North using a rigorous counterfactual framework. Their findings challenge the idea that unification increased Italy’s North-South divide. In fact, neither region experienced widespread benefits from the unified state.
