I don’t just mean housing rents. I mean all *access fees* to essential services that have been captured by private wealth: water, energy, health, railways etc. And the interest payments arising from the financialisation of higher education.

That's what rent means: the entry fee you must surrender, over and above your payment for services received, to those who have captured the essential resources you need to survive and prosper. Rent is a kind of private tax, that the poor and middle must pay to the rich.
