Who Owns the World? The Surprising Truth About Every Piece of Land on the Planet As we navigate our increasingly interconnected world, it's easy to feel like we know everything there is to know about the places we visit or call home. But what do we really know about the lands we inhabit? In fact, who owns the world? Who Owns the World presents the results of the first-ever land ownership survey of all 197 states and 6 territories of the world, revealing surprising and eye-opening facts that challenge our assumptions about the distribution of land and wealth. Only 15% of the world's population lays claim to land ownership, and this concentration of land in too few hands is likely the single greatest cause of poverty. Queen Elizabeth II, for example, owns an astonishing 1/6th of the earth's surface - nearly three times the size of the United States! The Lichtenstein royal family is even wealthier than the Grimaldis of Monaco, while 80% of Americans live in urban areas. The least crowded state is Alaska, with a spacious 670 acres per person, while New Jersey is the most crowded at just 7 acres per person. A staggering 60% of Americans are property owners, putting the US behind only the UK (69% homeownership). This fascinating book not only provides cocktail party conversation for years to come but also challenges us to rethink our understanding of the relationship between land ownership and human well-being.
Кто владеет миром? Удивительная правда о каждом клочке земли на планете По мере того, как мы ориентируемся в нашем все более взаимосвязанном мире, легко почувствовать, что мы знаем все, что нужно знать о местах, которые мы посещаем или называем домом. Но что мы на самом деле знаем о землях, которые населяем? На самом деле, кто владеет миром? Организация Кто владеет миром представляет результаты первого в истории обследования землевладения всех 197 государств и 6 территорий мира, раскрывая удивительные и открывающие глаза факты, которые бросают вызов нашим предположениям о распределении земли и богатства. Только 15% населения мира претендует на право собственности на землю, и эта концентрация земли в слишком немногих руках, вероятно, является единственной главной причиной бедности. Например, королеве Елизавете II принадлежит удивительная 1/6 земной поверхности - почти в три раза больше, чем Соединенным Штатам! Королевская семья Лихтенштейнов даже богаче гримальдийцев Монако, в то время как 80% американцев живут в городских районах. Наименее многолюдным штатом является Аляска с просторными 670 акрами на человека, в то время как Нью-Джерси является самым многолюдным - всего 7 акров на человека. Ошеломляющие 60% американцев являются владельцами недвижимости, поставив США позади только Великобритании (69% домовладения). Эта увлекательная книга не только обеспечивает коктейльную беседу на долгие годы, но и ставит перед нами задачу переосмыслить наше понимание взаимосвязи между владением землей и благополучием человека.
Qui possède le monde ? Une vérité étonnante sur chaque morceau de terre sur la planète Alors que nous nous dirigeons vers notre monde de plus en plus interconnecté, il est facile de sentir que nous savons tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur les endroits que nous visitons ou appelons la maison. Mais que savons-nous vraiment des terres que nous habitons ? En fait, qui possède le monde ? L'organisation Qui possède le monde présente les résultats de la première enquête sur la propriété foncière de 197 États et de 6 territoires du monde, révélant des faits étonnants et révélateurs qui remettent en question nos hypothèses sur la répartition des terres et des richesses. Seulement 15 % de la population mondiale revendique la propriété foncière, et cette concentration de terres en trop peu de mains est probablement la seule cause principale de la pauvreté. Par exemple, la reine Elizabeth II possède une étonnante surface de 1/6 de la Terre - presque trois fois plus que les États-Unis ! La famille royale du Liechtenstein est même plus riche que les Grimaldiens de Monaco, tandis que 80 % des Américains vivent en milieu urbain. L'État le moins peuplé est l'Alaska avec 670 acres par personne, tandis que le New Jersey est le plus peuplé - seulement 7 acres par personne. 60 % des Américains sont propriétaires de biens immobiliers, ce qui place les États-Unis derrière le Royaume-Uni (69 % des propriétaires). Ce livre fascinant offre non seulement une conversation de cocktail pour les années à venir, mais nous met également au défi de repenser notre compréhension de la relation entre la propriété foncière et le bien-être humain.
Quién es el dueño del mundo? La asombrosa verdad sobre cada pedazo de tierra en el planeta A medida que navegamos en nuestro mundo cada vez más interconectado, es fácil sentir que sabemos todo lo que necesitamos saber sobre los lugares que visitamos o llamamos hogar. Pero, qué sabemos realmente de las tierras que habitamos? De hecho, quién es el dueño del mundo? Quién es dueño del mundo presenta los resultados de la primera encuesta de la historia sobre la propiedad de la tierra de los 197 estados y 6 territorios del mundo, revelando hechos sorprendentes y reveladores que desafían nuestras suposiciones sobre la distribución de la tierra y la riqueza. Sólo el 15% de la población mundial reclama la propiedad de la tierra, y esta concentración de la tierra en muy pocas manos es probablemente la única causa principal de la pobreza. Por ejemplo, la reina Isabel II posee una asombrosa superficie terrestre de 1/6 - ¡casi tres veces más grande que los Estados Unidos! La familia real de Liechtenstein es incluso más rica que los grimaldianos de Mónaco, mientras que el 80% de los estadounidenses viven en zonas urbanas. estado menos concurrido es Alaska, con 670 acres por persona, mientras que Nueva Jersey es el más concurrido, con solo 7 acres por persona. Un asombroso 60% de los estadounidenses son propietarios de propiedades, lo que coloca a Estados Unidos solo detrás del Reino Unido (69% de la propiedad). Este fascinante libro no sólo proporciona una conversación de cócteles para los venideros, sino que también nos plantea el reto de replantear nuestra comprensión de la relación entre la propiedad de la tierra y el bienestar humano.
Quem é dono do mundo? Uma verdade incrível sobre cada pedaço de terra no planeta, à medida que estamos focados no nosso mundo cada vez mais interligado, é fácil sentir que sabemos tudo o que precisamos de saber sobre os locais que visitamos ou chamamos de lar. Mas o que sabemos sobre as terras que habitamos? De facto, quem é dono do mundo? A Organização Quem Possui o Mundo apresenta os resultados da primeira pesquisa de propriedade de terras de todos os 197 estados e seis territórios do mundo, revelando fatos surpreendentes e reveladores que desafiam nossas suposições sobre a distribuição de terras e riquezas. Apenas 15% da população mundial reivindica a propriedade da terra, e essa concentração de terras em poucas mãos é provavelmente a única causa principal da pobreza. Por exemplo, a rainha Elizabeth II é dona de um incrível 1/6 da superfície terrestre - quase o triplo dos Estados Unidos! A família real de Liechtenstein é até mais rica do que os grimaldianos do Mónaco, enquanto 80% dos americanos vivem em áreas urbanas. O estado menos populoso é o Alasca, com 670 hectares por pessoa espaçosos, enquanto Nova Jersey é o mais amplo, com apenas 7 hectares por pessoa. Os surpreendentes 60% dos americanos são proprietários de propriedades, colocando os EUA atrás apenas do Reino Unido (69% da propriedade). Este livro fascinante não só fornece uma conversa de coquetel durante anos, mas também tem o desafio de repensar a nossa compreensão da relação entre a propriedade da terra e o bem-estar do homem.
Chi possiede il mondo? La meravigliosa verità su ogni pezzo di terra sul pianeta, mentre ci orientiamo nel nostro mondo sempre più interconnesso, è facile sentire che sappiamo tutto ciò che dobbiamo sapere sui luoghi che visitiamo o chiamiamo casa. Ma cosa sappiamo davvero delle terre che abitiamo? Chi possiede davvero il mondo? L'organizzazione Chi possiede il mondo presenta i risultati della prima indagine sulla proprietà della terra di tutti i 197 stati e sei territori del mondo, rivelando fatti sorprendenti e rivelatori che sfidano le nostre ipotesi sulla distribuzione della terra e della ricchezza. Solo il 15% della popolazione mondiale rivendica la proprietà della terra, e questa concentrazione di terre in troppe mani è probabilmente l'unica causa principale di povertà. Ad esempio, la regina Elisabetta II possiede un incredibile 1/6 della superficie terrestre, quasi il triplo degli Stati Uniti! La famiglia reale del Liechtenstein è persino più ricca dei Grimaldiani di Monaco, mentre l'80% degli americani vive nelle aree urbane. Lo stato meno affollato è l'Alaska, con un ampio 670 ettari a persona, mentre il New Jersey è il più affollato - solo 7 ettari a persona. L'incredibile 60% degli americani possiede proprietà immobiliari, mettendo gli Stati Uniti dietro solo al Regno Unito (69% di proprietà). Questo affascinante libro non solo fornisce un cocktail per anni, ma ha anche il compito di ripensare la nostra comprensione del rapporto tra la proprietà della terra e il benessere umano.
Wem gehört die Welt? Die erstaunliche Wahrheit über jedes Stück Land auf dem Planeten Wenn wir uns in unserer zunehmend vernetzten Welt orientieren, ist es leicht zu spüren, dass wir alles wissen, was wir über die Orte wissen müssen, die wir besuchen oder zu Hause nennen. Aber was wissen wir eigentlich über das Land, das wir bewohnen? Tatsächlich, wer besitzt die Welt? Who's Owns the World präsentiert die Ergebnisse der ersten Landbesitzerhebung aller 197 Staaten und 6 Territorien der Welt und enthüllt überraschende und augenöffnende Fakten, die unsere Annahmen über die Verteilung von Land und Reichtum in Frage stellen. Nur 15% der Weltbevölkerung beansprucht Landbesitz, und diese Konzentration von Land in zu wenigen Händen ist wahrscheinlich die einzige Hauptursache für Armut. Zum Beispiel besitzt Königin Elizabeth II. ein erstaunliches 1/6 der Erdoberfläche - fast dreimal so groß wie die Vereinigten Staaten! Die liechtensteinische Königsfamilie ist sogar reicher als die Grimaldis von Monaco, während 80% der Amerikaner in städtischen Gebieten leben. Der am wenigsten überfüllte Staat ist Alaska mit geräumigen 670 Hektar pro Person, während New Jersey mit nur 7 Hektar pro Person der bevölkerungsreichste ist. Erstaunliche 60% der Amerikaner sind Immobilienbesitzer, womit die USA nur noch hinter Großbritannien (69% der Haushalte) liegen. Dieses faszinierende Buch bietet nicht nur ein Cocktail-Gespräch für viele Jahre, sondern fordert uns auch heraus, unser Verständnis der Beziehung zwischen Landbesitz und menschlichem Wohlbefinden zu überdenken.

Dünyanın sahibi kim? Giderek birbirine bağlı dünyamızda gezinirken, ziyaret ettiğimiz veya ev olarak adlandırdığımız yerler hakkında bilinmesi gereken her şeyi bildiğimizi hissetmek kolaydır. Ama yaşadığımız topraklar hakkında gerçekten ne biliyoruz? Dünyanın sahibi kim, gerçekten? Who Own the World (Dünyanın Sahibi Kimdir), 197 devlet ve 6 bölge üzerinde yapılan ilk arazi kullanım süresi araştırmasının sonuçlarını sunarak, toprak ve zenginliğin dağılımı hakkındaki varsayımlarımıza meydan okuyan şaşırtıcı ve göz açıcı gerçekleri ortaya koyuyor. Dünya nüfusunun sadece %15'i toprak mülkiyeti talep ediyor ve bu toprakların çok az elde toplanması muhtemelen yoksulluğun en büyük nedeni. Örneğin, Kraliçe II. Elizabeth, dünya yüzeyinin inanılmaz bir 1/6'sına sahiptir - Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nden neredeyse üç kat daha fazla! Liechtenstein kraliyet ailesi Monako'nun Grimaldianlarından bile daha zengindir, Amerikalıların %80'i kentsel alanlarda yaşamaktadır. En az kalabalık eyalet, kişi başına geniş 670 dönümlük Alaska iken, New Jersey kişi başına sadece 7 dönümlük en kalabalık eyalettir. Amerikalıların %60'ı mülk sahibidir ve ABD'yi yalnızca İngiltere'nin (ev sahipliğinin %69'u) arkasına koymaktadır. Gelecek yıllar için bir kokteyl sohbeti sağlamanın yanı sıra, bu büyüleyici kitap, toprak mülkiyeti ve insan refahı arasındaki ilişki hakkındaki anlayışımızı yeniden düşünmemizi istiyor.
من يملك العالم ؟ الحقيقة المذهلة حول كل رقعة من الأرض على الكوكب بينما نتنقل في عالمنا المتصل بشكل متزايد، من السهل أن نشعر أننا نعرف كل شيء يمكن معرفته عن الأماكن التي نزورها أو نسميها بالمنزل. لكن ماذا نعرف حقًا عن الأراضي التي نسكنها ؟ من يملك العالم حقاً ؟ تقدم منظمة من يملك العالم نتائج أول مسح لحيازة الأراضي على الإطلاق لجميع الدول الـ 197 و 6 أقاليم في العالم، مما يكشف عن حقائق مدهشة ومثيرة للدهشة تتحدى افتراضاتنا حول توزيع الأراضي والثروة. 15٪ فقط من سكان العالم يطالبون بملكية الأراضي، وهذا التركيز للأراضي في أيدي قليلة جدًا ربما يكون السبب الأكبر للفقر. على سبيل المثال، تمتلك الملكة إليزابيث الثانية 1/6 مذهلة من سطح الأرض - أكثر بثلاث مرات تقريبًا من الولايات المتحدة! تعتبر العائلة المالكة في ليختنشتاين أكثر ثراءً من سكان موناكو، بينما يعيش 80٪ من الأمريكيين في المناطق الحضرية. الولاية الأقل ازدحامًا هي ألاسكا، حيث تبلغ مساحتها 670 فدانًا للفرد، في حين أن نيوجيرسي هي الأكثر ازدحامًا بمساحة 7 أفدنة فقط للفرد. 60٪ من الأمريكيين هم من أصحاب العقارات، مما يضع الولايات المتحدة وراء المملكة المتحدة فقط (69٪ من ملكية المنازل). بالإضافة إلى توفير محادثة كوكتيل لسنوات قادمة، يتحدانا هذا الكتاب الرائع لإعادة التفكير في فهمنا للعلاقة بين ملكية الأرض ورفاهية الإنسان.
