Title: Property: The Myth That Built The World
Author: Rowan Moore
Narrator: Antonia Beamish
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8:20:00
Language: English
Release date: 11-16-23
Publisher: W.F. Howes
Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science
Summary:
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. It tells powerful stories - of life in the developer-led boomtown of Gurugram in India, of the struggles to form black communities in Missouri and Georgia, of a giant experiment in co-operative living in the Bronx, of the theatrics of developer-kings like President Aliyev of Azerbaijan and the Trump family.
Above all, Property asks how we have come to view our homes not as a natural human right, but as investments - and it offers hope for how things could be better, with reform that might enable the social wealth of property to be returned to society.
