This chapter explores the influence of neoliberal ideas on housing and land policy, tracing their origins from Milton Friedman's pamphlet to Margaret Thatcher's privatization of public housing. It also examines the interconnectedness of housing and agriculture, and the consequences of free market reforms on the property market.
Featuring Jo Guldi on the global history of the long land war—a war over everything from agrarian reform to tenant rights, from India and China to England and Ireland, from the late 19th century through the present—and into the future.
