    Palgrave Macmillan 2004; US$ 95.00

    Lapp points out a surprising "coincidence": nearly every grant of suffrage to the rural poor in Latin America took place at the same time as land reforms. She argues that politicians seeking to secure political power both extended suffrage and attempted land reform to gain the support of the previously disenfranchised rural poor. In addition, the... more...

  • An Essay on the Restoration of Propertyby Hilaire Belloc

    IHS Press 2002; US$ 10.95

    This short work is a program for property distribution as an alternative to how it is planned by socialist states or naturally happens in capitalist societies.
