WHO OWNS ENGLAND (PB)

This book has been a long time coming. Since 1086, in fact. For centuries, England’s elite have covered up how they got their hands on millions of acres of our land, by constructing walls, burying surveys and more recently, sheltering behind offshore shell companies. But with the dawn of digital mapping and the Freedom of Information Act, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for them to hide. Melding history, politics and polemic, Shrubsole vividly demonstrates how taking control of land ownership is key to tackling many of our current crises.
