But it is also a weapon, an agent of displacement and exploitation, the currency of kleptocrats and oligarchs. In Britain, it has led to a new class division between those who own and those who don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Property is a vivid, far-reaching analysis of our concept of property ownership, from 16th-century enclosures to the present day. It tells powerful stories - of life in the developer-led boomtown of Gurgaon 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 impacts of Margaret Thatcher's 'property-owning democracy.'  Above all, Property asks how we have come to view our homes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358952550637,"sku":"9780571350094","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780571350094.jpg?v=1728672412","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780571350094","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
