Only a few land owners, many more people needed on the land. Sounds like a formula for medieval-like inequality & unrest to me.

That's one possibility, indeed. Can we imagine others? O.U.R. Ecovillage on Vancouver Island is exploring agreements where people working the land gain rights or work toward ownership. Surely we can find some creative ideas, like Community Land Trusts that own the land and the homeowners invest in and gain equity on their buildings. (Peak Moment #89, "Affordable Homes Forever.")
