First published in 2000. The materials in this collection are drawn from many disciplines including economics law philosophy and political science. Yet they are all directed to a topic that is worthy of examination from multiple perspectives: Liberty Property and the Law. Stated in this general form this topic is as broad as law itself. Lawyers must have recourse to the grand principles of economic and social thought but tempered with an awareness of how the novel circumstances of an individual case can call into question some of the elements of the grandest of theories. In this volume therefore the emphasis is as much on the points that separate different forms of property as it is on the conceptual theme that links all forms of property rights together.
