The book explores the historical and ongoing transformation of property concepts, focusing on capitalism's tendency to privatize communal resources. It traces developments from the 1870s fencing of the West to contemporary issues like urbanization, mass incarceration, and financialization, highlighting the commodification of individuals. By linking these phenomena to the broader themes of land enclosures and empire, it offers a critical examination of corporate globalization and its effects on society and the environment.
