"Accumulation by dispossession" as a book category collects works that examine how capital grows by taking control of assets, resources, and social wealth through non-productive, often coercive means—privatization, enclosure of commons, land and resource grabs, financialization, debt, commodification of public goods, and intellectual property regimes. Rooted in David Harvey’s critique of neoliberalism, the genre spans theoretical essays, political-economic histories, empirical case studies, and activist accounts that document how these processes concentrate wealth, remake social relations, and produce new forms of exclusion and resistance across urban, rural, and global contexts. Such books typically analyze the political and legal mechanisms that enable dispossession, trace the roles of states, corporations, and financial institutions, and explore impacts on inequality, livelihoods, and social movements, often offering alternatives or strategies for contestation.
