Land is an important finite commodity in the modern world. In the
past wars have been fought over it and land shortage has been the
cause of many famines. In modern times debates rage over just how
land should be controlled by government and over whether land
should be publicly or privately owned. This book, which was first
published in 1984, surveys the major problems and debates connected
with land use in the modern developed world. The opening chapters
examine the main components of the problem and describe the
development of the debate about land from Malthus onwards. The book
then analyses land policy in a number of different countries,
including the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Eastern
Europe. This book is ideal for students of geography and economics.
