Barely 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 notion laid waste to traditional communal 
civilisations, displacing entire peoples from 
their homelands, and brought into being a unique 
concept of individual freedom and a distinct form 
of representative government and democratic 
institutions. Other great civilizations, in 
Russia, China, and the Islamic world, evolved 
very different structures of land ownership, and 
thus very different forms of government and social responsibility.

  The seventeenth-century English surveyor 
William Petty was the first man to recognise the 
connection between private property and 
free-market capitalism; the American radical Wolf 
Ladejinsky redistributed land in Japan, Taiwan 
and South Korea after the Second World War to 
make possible the emergence of Asian tiger 
economies. Through the eyes of these remarkable 
individuals and many more, including Chinese 
emperors and German peasants, Andro Linklater 
here presents the evolution of land ownership to 
offer a radically new view of mankind's place on the planet.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which 
alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
