Mei's ontological analysis of the land does more than just question the nature of our fundamental relation to land: it also questions the fundamental relation humans have to each other. --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Of the many crises of unfairness facing us today, the unequal distribution of benefits reaped from land is one of the most intractable and pressing. It can only get worse, as populations grow and climate changes. In response to the demand for an ethics adequate to the injustices of land ownership and privation, Todd Mei renews radical theses on land taxation. To achieve this, he develops critical readings of modern economic theories through important new interpretations of phenomenology and hermeneutics. His claims for a fundamental human relation to land are timely and testimony to the progressive power of contemporary philosophical thought. --James Williams, Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation Innovative and challenging, Land and the Given Economy makes an important intervention into contemporary thinking about land and economy. --Jeff Malpas, author of Heidegger's Topology: Being, Place, World and Place and Experience: A Philosophical Topography
