What is wealth actually made of—besides the numbers in our accounts? Today, we go digging for the real stuff.

Then The Economist’s Mike Bird shares ideas from The Land Trap: A New History of the World's Oldest Asset, on why land has been the quiet engine behind fortunes—and inequality—for centuries.
