Synopsis

This book, published in 1775, challenges the prevalent landholding practices of the time, arguing that they are a violation of natural rights and perpetuate an unjust social order. The author, a fervent believer in the power of reason and the inherent equality of humanity, proposes a radical land reform system based on the principles of common ownership and equitable distribution. Drawing inspiration from historical and religious texts, the book presents a compelling case against the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few privileged individuals, highlighting the negative consequences it has on society as a whole. Through incisive analysis and thought-provoking arguments, this book sheds light on the fundamental relationship between landownership, social justice, and human well-being.
