The Hidden Power of Land: England's Greatest Secret
Half of England belongs to less than 1% of the population. This startling fact remains one of our nation's oldest and darkest secrets, deliberately concealed by those who benefit from it. Land isn't just another investment-it's unique. Its scarcity guarantees value, and owners profit without effort as property values rise through others' labor. Since 1995, UK land values have increased fivefold, now representing over half the nation's wealth. Why does this matter? Land ownership shapes where we live, what food we eat, and how we protect nature. Yet politicians dismiss questions about land distribution as "the politics of envy." When I began investigating out of environmental concern and frustration with housing costs, I was astonished by how difficult it was to answer a seemingly simple question: who owns England? The journey to uncover this mystery revealed that the concentration of ownership isn't just a historical curiosity-it's a living legacy that continues to shape everything from our housing crisis to our ecological collapse. Imagine waking up to discover that the fields you walk through, the forests you enjoy, even the ground beneath your home-all are controlled by a tiny elite whose power has persisted for centuries. This is the reality of England today, hidden in plain sight.
