Minikitten reviewed Who Owns England? by Guy Shrubsole
None
4 stars
A very interesting read, I learnt a huge amount about England, who owns it and why it is like this. It’s a very murky picture that’s for sure. Some great suggestions for reforming land ownership moving forward but also recognises the land grabs that have happened in our past and the losses those who are not of the aristocracy have suffered. It’s really interesting how our customs and systems have upheld that inequality stemming from Norman times right through to today and how this impacts our daily life right now.
