Abstract
Australia has been one of the hotspots of the finance-driven land rush – a fact that is sidelined in Global-South-centred accounts of the phenomenon. Economic geographer Bill Pritchard and law scholar Cathy Sherry offer methodological insights into how they made use of the Torrens system-based public land registry in Australia to map evolving patterns of corporate land ownership in the state of New South Wales from 2004 to 2019. Given that the land registry was leased to a private entity in 2017 which enclosed the data, their account also shows how research on (financialized) land ownership is entwined within the political economy of land titles data provision.
