About this product
Product Information
Appropriation and distribution of land transformed North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The Great Land Rush and the Making of the Modern World integrates the often violent history of European colonization and the ensuing emergence of property rights with an exploration of the growth of democracy and the market economy. In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel, John Weaver reveals what lies behind our acceptance of the right to unlimited material wealth. He underscores the tragic history of the indigenous peoples of these regions and how they lost possession of their lands. He argues that the enormous effort to reallocate newly carved-out parcels of property during the Great Land Rush led to an idea of property rights that was marked by a complete disregard for previous notions of restraint on material possibility. That legacy continues to drive the Wests insatiable thirst for economic growth, newer forms of economic colonization of underdeveloped countries, and continuing evolution in concepts of property rights, including the increasing importance of intellectual property rights.

- m***l (152)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExceptional service from a very reliable seller. They were offering a long-out-of-print book at a very reasonable price. On checkout I was given a 10% discount code; the book was dispatched with free postage, followed by an email advising they were giving a refund because they considered the book was not in as good a condition as advertised. The book arrived two days later, well-packaged and in great condition too. Thank you WeBuyBooks, I’m happy to recommend such exemplary service.
