Leaned: 
- landlords make greater profit off of low income individuals, and always have. Renters in slums have always paid more because discrimination prevents them from accessing the larger housing market

- More social programs potentially succeeded in Europe because people could unite as workers against corporations because they didn’t blame race and let it divide them
