The Power in the Land

By Fred Harrison

Book Overview

Uncover the hidden power driving economic cycles and social inequality. Fred Harrison's Power in the Land reveals how land speculation, a force often overlooked, acts as a critical junction box regulating the flow of power between labor and capital. This forgotten theory, championed by thinkers from Adam Smith to Winston Churchill, offers a powerful explanation for economic stagnation.

Is land speculation the key to understanding depressions? Harrison tests this hypothesis against historical facts and recent economic booms and slumps, providing devastating evidence for its role in postwar trends. Discover:

For economists, policymakers, and anyone seeking a more just and stable economic future, Power in the Land is an insightful and provocative exploration of a long-neglected economic truth.
