Book Overview
The Supreme Court's decision in the Kelo case created a firestorm of interest in protecting property rights. Through real-life stories and solid legal analysis, this book shows why property rights are the cornerstone of liberty, how they are protected in the U.S. Constitution, and it critically examines how courts and legislatures have diminished property rights, and then lays out an agenda for protecting property rights in the future.

Best book I've read in the past year
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Every now and again, I am exceptionally pleased with a book purchase. Such is the case with Property Rights. Sandefur clearly and concisely discusses the diminution of property rights in America. Surprisingly, I gleaned as much information from this book's 161 pages (including index and footnotes), as I usually do in much lengthier books. Property Rights will be included with my must-read recommendations.
College-level collections will find this essential.

Few books offer so succinct or specific a set of insights connecting property rights to democratic principles as in Property Rights in 21st Century America, a survey of property rights as linked to issues of freedom and personal identity. Here are ideas for legal changes to the existing system which would enhance owner rights and individual liberties: here also are historical and political as well as social considerations of property rights issues as they relate to the constitution and society. College-level collections will find this essential. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
