Abstract:

The current land reform movement in the U.S. seeks not only to change and control land use, but further to change and control ownership patterns. The economics of land ownership determines in part its use--whether the land is farmed or developed--and determines to a large extent who is wealthy and who is poor. A suggested reform to this movement is the establishment of community land trusts that remove parcels of land from the free market and placing them on a stewardship for a larger common good.
