Description:

Many of today’s most serious issues—homelessness, gun violence, fracking, prison privatization, predatory lending, and many more—remain gridlocked because the “rights of property” undermine the rights of people. Ben Price reveals that our Constitution and legal system were intentionally designed to give outsized rights to the wealthy propertied class over the rest of us. He exposes how this stymies our ability to resolve the pressing social and environmental problems we face today and offers solutions and actions rooted in resistance. Detailing stories from the more than 200 communities that have drafted their own bills of rights, Price implores listeners to join arms to fight against the primacy of property and restore justice and equality to the people.
