Todd S. Mei is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Kent.
"Mei's ontological analysis of the land does more than just
question the nature of our fundamental relation to land: it also
questions the fundamental relation humans have to each other."
--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Of the many crises of
unfairness facing us today, the unequal distribution of benefits
reaped from land is one of the most intractable and pressing. It
can only get worse, as populations grow and climate changes. In
response to the demand for an ethics adequate to the injustices of
land ownership and privation, Todd Mei renews radical theses on
land taxation. To achieve this, he develops critical readings of
modern economic theories through important new interpretations of
phenomenology and hermeneutics. His claims for a fundamental human
relation to land are timely and testimony to the progressive power
of contemporary philosophical thought." --James Williams, Alfred
Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation
"Innovative and challenging, Land and the Given Economy makes an
important intervention into contemporary thinking about land and
economy." --Jeff Malpas, author of Heidegger's Topology: Being,
Place, World and Place and Experience: A Philosophical Topography
