Another book looking at the matter, dynamics, history, and consequences of land ownership is Simon Winchester's Land (2021). I've cracked it but only read bits of the first few chapters, far more a fault of my over-optimistic book appetite and fractured attention than Winchester's writing, which is excellent.
