Property
Property carries a great promise: that it will make you rich and set you free. But it is 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, from 16th-century feudalism to the present day.

Wherever you are on property's wheel of chance, you are likely to be powerfully affected by it. Perhaps you have changed your life in search of a place you can afford. Or maybe you are a homeowner who worries about a crash in prices. Or perhaps you have found you are shut out of the magic kingdom of ownership and forced into paying high rents to indifferent landlords. This is a powerful examination of how property came to shape the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedom and stability it was meant to sustain.
