I've just started reading a book called The New Enclosure by Brett Christophers. It details the largest privatisation of the last 40 years, a privatisation by stealth that has been little reported or acknowledged, the privatisation of land. He reckons that about 2 billion hectares or about 10% of the entire British land mass has been sold off since 1979. He says that, at today's prices, this is worth about £400 billion. |
