How public land has been stolen from us.Much has been written about Britains trailblazing post1970s privatization program, but the biggest privatization of them all has until now escaped scrutiny: the privatization of land. Since Margaret Thatcher took power in 1979, and hidden from the public eye, about 10 per cent of the entire British land mass, including some of its most valuable real estate, has passed from public to private hands. Forest land, defence land, health service land and above all else local authority land for farming and school sports, for recreation and housing has been sold off en masse. Why? How? And with what social, economic and political consequences? The New Enclosure provides the first ever study of this profoundly significant phenomenon, situating it as a centrepiece of neoliberalism in Britain and as a successor programme to the original eighteenthcentury enclosures. With more public land still slated for disposal, the book identifies the stakes and asks what, if anything, can and should be done.

This book dives deep into the impacts of neoliberal policies on public land in Britain. I found the arguments compelling and the research thorough. It's quite eye-opening if you're interested in how public resources are managed.

A must-read for activists
The way this book discusses the appropriation of public land is incredibly timely. It’s a must-read for anyone involved in activism or policy-making. Highly informative and well-structured!

Great insights, but a bit dense
I really appreciated the insights this book offers on land appropriation, but I will admit that some sections were pretty dense. It took me a while to get through, but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Not what I expected
I thought this book would focus more on how public land is used rather than just critiquing neoliberalism. It's well-written, but I was hoping for more practical examples and less theory.
