Dr Cameron Murray is the author of The Great Housing Hijack: The hoaxes and myths keeping prices high for renters and buyers in Australia. Cam is an urban economist who specialises in housing and he has, for a long time, been pushing against the idea that a more free market approach to housing will solve the crises of high rents, homelessness, and housing bubbles. In this, he has also drawn from his experience as a landlord and working in commercial real estate. He makes a conscious effort to understand how housing is built beyond econ101 fairy tales and has some really interesting takes for that reason.
