LAND POWER Who Has It, Who Doesn't, and How That Determines the Fate of Societies

Braden Wright provides a crisp, even narration of this thoroughly researched overview of land--specifically, who owns it and how that ownership fortifies power over time. Albertus's audiobook seeks to provide a comprehensive review of how "the great reshuffling"--a phenomenon through which land is acquired, repossessed, or stolen-- consistently results in various significant political, economic, and social justice outcomes. For example, deforestation in the Amazon basin in the name of progress has encouraged climate change. And Canadian women, once legally prohibited from owning land themselves, have been generationally disadvantaged. Wright provides a neutral delivery with absolutely no added embellishment or flair. Listeners get as close to the pure conveyance of a text that a performer can deliver. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
