See the writer's doctoral thesis 'Property and Politics. A study of landed and urban property in England between the 1880s and the Great War', Oxford, 1978. Deals with the influence of landed and urban property on wide ranging aspects of society, politics, etc. Covers, inter alia: law of land transfer; estimates of landed property and landed debt; descriptions of the urban property market; impact of taxation upon urban development; etc. 'Also analyses the stormy period from 1909 to 1914 when the urban crisis was compounded by collapsing property values, rising taxes and unsatisfied social demands as well as Lloyd George's provocative budgets and his ambitious and abortive land schemes'
