Have you ever wondered how the property in the world is divided? In Who Owns the World, Kevin Cahill and Rob McMahon tackle that question. For instance, you’ll find that:

–Only 15% of the world’s population lays claim to landownership, and that landownership in too few hands is probably the single greatest cause of poverty.
–Queen Elizabeth II owns 1/6 of the entire land surface on earth (nearly 3 times the size of the U.S.).
–The Lichtenstein royal family is wealthier than the Grimaldis of Monaco.
–80% of the American population is crammed in urban areas.

    This sounds like an extremely interesting book. I think I could even get my husband to read this one, and he hates to read!
