How We Lost Our Green and Pleasant Land, and How to Take It Back
Book • 2019
This book delves into the history of land ownership in England, tracing back to the Domesday Book in 1086.
It exposes how England’s elite have concealed their land holdings over centuries and how modern tools like digital mapping and the Freedom of Information Act are revealing these secrets.
The author, Guy Shrubsole, argues that taking control of land ownership is crucial for addressing issues such as the housing crisis, climate change, and the erosion of democracy.
The book includes a manifesto for land reform, proposing ways to make land ownership more transparent, fair, and widely distributed.
