Editor's Choice IN THIS WEEK'S NEW STATESMAN... In this week's New Statesman, we look at the coming battle over land and property and reveal who really owns Britain. In our cover story, NS editor Jason Cowley argues for shifting the tax burden from earned to unearned income (property sales, inheritance, land ownership) and says land reform must become a convulsive political issue once more. Elsewhere, as the world focuses on the Chilean mine rescue, John Pilger exposes the political and economic abuse that continues to blight the country, Mehdi Hasan warns Ed Miliband not to be defined by his enemies and John McTernan, formerly Tony Blair's political secretary, puts the Blairite case for Labour's new leader. Also this week, Jonathan Powell explains what today's politicians can learn from Machiavelli, David Blanchflower warns that the Tories' figures still don't add up and Alan B'Stard, the self-proclaimed architect of New Labour, returns to public life with a new column. All this, plus Kevin Maguire's Commons Confidential, Laurie Penny on the corporate attempt to cash in on cancer and Ryan Gilbey on the dark history of Facebook.
