Much has been written about Britain's trailblazing post-1970s
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 eighteenth-century enclosures. With more public land still
slated for disposal, the book identifies the stakes and asks what,
if anything, can and should be done.
