Property - Rowan Moore, Faber & Faber

Property carries a great promise: that it will make you rich and set you free. But it's also a weapon, an agent of displacement and exploitation, the currency of kleptocrats and oligarchs. Property is a vivid, far-reaching analysis of our concept of property ownership and a powerful examination of how it shaped the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedoms and stability it was meant to sustain.'Moore situates property where it belongs - in the centre of virtually every aspect of our lives.'
