What if everything you thought you owned could vanish overnight?
From ancient civilizations to the digital age, history tells a consistent story: ownership is never permanent, and wealth rarely disappears; it is transferred. The Great Taking uncovers the hidden systems that have quietly shaped this cycle for centuries, revealing how power, finance, and technology continue to redefine what it means to "own" in today's world.
This isn't just another history of money. It's a gripping investigation into why ownership nowadays feels more fragile than ever: from mortgage markets and student debt to the invisible architecture of finance and the rise of programmable digital currencies.
Inside, you'll discover:
- The Hidden History of Dispossession: from ancient debt slavery to the great depression and beyond.
- How financial empires grew powerful and why ordinary people became bound to global finance.
- The digital frontier of ownership: CBDCs, AI, and who really profits from your data.
- Case studies of collapse: real case studies and scenarios, and what they teach us about survival and economy.
- A forward-looking exploration of solutions: from cooperatives to community resilience and new models of ownership.
Clear, urgent, and deeply engaging, The Great Taking connects the dots between past and present to ask the question no one can ignore: Who really owns the future?
If you've ever wondered why every crisis seems to benefit the few at the expense of the many, this book will change the way you see the world, and your place in it.
