Who owns the world
The hidden facts behind landownership
by Kevin Cahill
About the book :
“A land poor race on a land rich planet.”
Kevin Cahill’s new book Who Owns the World book examines land ownership in each one of the world’s 197 states or countries and 66 major territories, the first such survey ever attempted.
It reveals the largest landowner on earth with an estimate of her landholdings, which have immense political, legal and economic implications appear in , published by Mainstream.
In Part - 1 we are given an indepth examination of landownership from the beginning of history to the present day. This provides estimates of the land owned by the Papacy, the Islamic Mosque trusts and the Buddhist and Hindu religions (Chapter 5). It examines the land holdings of the 26 largest landholders on earth (Chapter 3), and how 60% of Europe is owned by the aristocracy, who also get 60% of the EU annual agricultural subsidy of €48,000 million (Chapter 4)
Part - 2 examines land ownership in each one of the world’s 197 states or countries and 66 major territories, with a page for each country and territory.
A master of many rich lists, local, national and international Kevin Cahill opens his book with the observation that:
Poverty and wealth are not, as is often thought, opposites. Instead the two words predicate a problem, which is poverty, and indicate its solution, which is wealth. Land, that upon which we all stand, is the single most common characteristic of wealth worldwide. … And the commonest characteristic of the poor of the planet is the opposite, landlessness.
Contents:
Part 1 - A narrative analysis of land and race over a 10,000 year period.
Chapters:
Of wealth and poverty, of Kings and Queens, of power and land, of the planet and the race: The major themes of the book are outlined and summarised.
The largest landowner on earth-by far, Queen Elizabeth II: The single individual who is the legal owner of about one sixth of the planets land, a total of 6,600 million acres.
The next largest individual landowners, who lay legal claim to about one sixteenth of the land of the planet, about 2,000 million acres.
The landowners of Europe, who get 60% of the EU agricultural subsidy of €48,000 million, who own 60% of Europe, but who constitute less than 0.2% of its population.
The landholdings of the world’s 4 major religions; Christianity and Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.
The latest British Empire, the 4th or virtual Empire, with a history of its evolution from the preceding 1st, 2nd and 3rd empires.
The 4th British Empire in the world: Extent of lands, and the power this confers in the modern international world.
Ireland as analogy: Why the land holding citizens of the republic are serfs, not owners and how this fact was concealed from them in their own constitution. Lessons for post colonial states in Africa and Asia and newly independent states in Europe.
The time line of landownership through history: In conjunction with Professor Powelson’s book The Story of Land (The Lincoln Institute).

Kevin Cahill and Rob McMahon provide startling statistics about who really owns the land in every country and territory on earth. Tables and charts, complete with numbers of owned acres, demonstrate that the ownership of land everywhere is not widely held. Instead, a few wealthy people, members of royal families, churches, and governments represent the vast overwhelming majority of land ownership
