A sweeping, resonant, revelatory history of how the expropriation of property made the modern world, by a brilliant young historianExpropriation the forced transfer of property rights is usually associated with dictators, unstable countries, and violent revolution. But in fact, it has been integral to the political and economic history of the West, enabling everything from the abolition of serfdom and slavery to decolonization, Allied victory in two world wars and the birth of the modern welfare state. For better and for worse, much of our modern world was built through coercive acquisition of property.In this groundbreaking international history of expropriation, Nicholas Mulder charts a gripping course from the eighteenth century to the present, ranging from the French Revolution to the Russo-Ukrainian War, from colonial companies to railway empires, from sales of church land to oil nationalizations, and from the confiscation of patents to asset freezing in the Eurodollar market. He shows how all kinds of political movements liberal and nationalist, socialist and fascist, imperialist and anticolonial both dissolved and redistributed property rights. Successful state-building did not depend on extinguishing the confiscatory state, but on capitalists mastering its powers and redeploying them for their own purposes.Drawing on a vast range of sources and data across history, politics, and economics, Mulder unfolds a bold revisionist history of how property was made and unmade, transferred and converted, stolen and restored. The Age of Confiscation reveals how much expropriation has been part of our recent past, and how amid rising geopolitical competition, growing inequality, and climate change, it will mark our future.

La vision commune de deux grands hommes sur la défense de la civilisation européenne, par lauteur de Lautre Collaboration et Lanarchie positive.Tout part dune photographie : Charles de Gaulle observe Andre Malraux, qui fixe un invisible hors champ. De ce jeu de regards nait une interrogation profonde sur lart, la pensee et ce qui echappe au visible ; une enigme fondatrice. Adolescent, lauteur est saisi par une phrase obscure de Malraux : " Lart est un antidestin ". De cette incomprehension nait une quete de plusieurs decennies, faite de lectures, de voyages et de confrontations aux uvres. Peu a peu, il apprend a lire Malraux ; tout en lui resistant. Car Malraux nest ni un philosophe academique ni un historien de lart classique : il est un visionnaire, un ecrivain de lintuition, dont les fulgurances eclairent autant quelles deroutent. En miroir, se dessine la figure de De Gaulle qui, apres la Premiere Guerre mondiale, denonce laffaiblissement moral dune societe gagnee par le confort et lindividualisme. Le General appelle a un sursaut fonde sur lenergie, la volonte et le sens du sacrifice, convaincu que lhistoire reste tragique et exige des hommes de caractere. A la croisee du recit personnel et de lessai, ce livre explore la rencontre entre ces deux figures majeures de la Ve Republique et montre comment une uvre peut transformer une vie. Il propose une meditation sur le pouvoir de lart : non pas vaincre la mort, mais apprendre a lui tenir tete.
