Place reservation for Owning the Earth : the transforming history of land ownershipBarely two centuries ago, most of the world's productive land still belonged either communally to traditional societies or to the higher powers of monarch or church. But that pattern, and the ways of life that went with it, were consigned to history as a result of the most creative - and, at the same time, destructive - cultural force in the modern era: the idea of individual, exclusive ownership of land. This book presents the evolution of land ownership to offer a radically new view of mankind's place on the planet.
