The GP is talking about the dismantling of the Commons in England during the Industrial Revolution.
Anyway, it’s not that simple. English even got the term “tragedy of the Commons” to refer to what was happening before the dismantling. Those people still were plainly stolen, yes, but the value what was taken wasn’t that clear. Also, people were escaping the Commons into factory jobs way before they were taken.
Where can I read more about this?
