The increases in rents that landlords, as a class, can charge when they have a monopoly over the supply of land. ‘Landowners can be treated as a class of actors. While these actors—developers, landlords, homeowners, and financial institutions—may act individually, they are compelled, in aggregate, by the same competitive profit maximizing imperatives under capitalism. It is this “coordinating” behaviour that allows these agents to be treated as a class based on their collective position as individual landowners. While not necessarily acting in collusion, the profit imperative renders collusion not necessary as similar outcomes are achieved: it is simultaneously individualized and generalized in advanced capitalist societies.’ (Anderson (2014) Geog.
