Property - The myth that built the world

Property carries a great promise: that it will make you rich and set you free. But it''s also a weapon, an agent of displacement and exploitation, the currency of kleptocrats and oligarchs. Property is a vivid, far-reaching analysis of our concept of property ownership and a powerful examination of how it shaped the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedoms and stability it was meant to sustain. ''Moore situates property where it belongs - in the centre of virtually every aspect of our lives.'' Sunday Times

Summary

A powerful examination of how property shaped the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedoms and stability it was meant to sustain.
