We discuss the great reshuffle of land in the last few centuries and the intersection of land, power, and democracy. 

 

Michael’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Support conservation easements

2. Learn about the indigenous communities that have been displaced from the land where you live and finds ways to support reallocation

 

Michael Albertus is professor of political science at the University of Chicago and the author of five books. His most recent is Land Power: Who Has It, Who Doesn’t, and How That Determines the Fate of Societies.
