Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the contrasts between land-ownership patterns across Europe and argues in favor of more individual ownership. Comparing the situation in England at the time with that in France, the author demonstrates that a more equal distribution of land-ownership is beneficial to the economy, society, and each individual's well-being. The author draws insights from the legal changes which took place in France since its revolution, including the abolition of primogeniture and entail as well as the compulsory division of inherited property among children, and argues that these changes have promoted greater thrift and industry and contributed to the contentment of the population, all while increasing production and reducing social unrest. Through this comparison, the book makes the case for similar reforms in England, reforms that would give smaller landowners a greater access to and control over land.
