The Myth of Property: Toward an Egalitarian Theory of Ownership
John Christman (ed.)
Oup Usa (1994)
Abstract
Departing from most studies of property, this book focuses directly on the concept of ownership, on the complex structure of property rights, and the relation between that structure and distributive justice. The traditional view that ownership must amount to full sovereignty over what is owned is abandoned. A new theory of property is put forward, one which more accurately reflects the various social values that property ownership protects, but which also makes egalitarian economic principles more compelling and powerful.ISBN(s)
