Review
...a source of invaluable data/analysis on the subject of urban land economics...equally fascinating fromthe standpoint of American history. -- From Turnarounds and Workouts, August 15, 2001 Review by Gail Owens Hoelscher
From the Publisher
A source of invaluable data and analysis for students of urban land economics, this exhaustively researched book was the first comprehensive study of land values in a large city undergoing a period of dizzying growth. Between 1830 and 1933, Chicago grew from a cluster of a dozen log huts to a booming city of 211 square miles and a population of almost 3.5 million.

This review is from: One Hundred Years of Land Values in Chicago: The Relationship of the Growth of Chicago to the Rise of Its Land Values, 1830-1933 (Paperback)
Barton Biggs referred to this in Hedghogging otherwise I'd never have heard of it.
It's a tough read but worth it. I am pleased I read it ahead of the latest property shakout. It will help you understand why property prices go up and the clearing beahviour of this illiquid asset during shakouts. Also its a fantastic timepeace. The rigor, the seriousness, the handcrafted charts, the labourious data collation. I use the term "bible" with consideration. It's old, out of date, anachronistic yet its truths are valid and worth adhering too.
