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.

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.

Sandefur covers it ALL, hits the nail on the head, and cites almost every relevant influential person to ever live, making it a great resource to have. Additionally, this dense boost of an education will teach you everything you should learn, if you have not already, before even whispering your opinion in any governmental, policy or legal discussion. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I'll be getting copies for friends and family who could use some enlightenment in 126 easy-to-read pages. I won't be getting copies, however, for those who are lost causes, like my Con Law professor, who decided to skip KELO completely! Ridiculous.
