Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Land and Land Owners: A Study of the Social Basis and Immediate Policies and Proposals Relating to Land and Reconstruction
Managing Director with his smooth face and sleek office is often really only an agent f or the big money; Of course, in this development much of the glamour has faded. One may venerate the squire when he is the great grand son of the mistress of a King, or even the son of a steel million aire, but nothing can be done about' 'the man from the Pru when he calls about the rent - the glory has departed.
But those that are left are, as we shall see, still powerful and have a magnetic pull in social and political life. Moreover, the landowners of all sorts, plain and coloured, have a highly complex surround of lawyers, estate agents, petty landlord's (the man you rent your house from is rarely the man at the top.) They are dangerous; an obstacle to progress.
