Reviews

Timothy Sandefur demonstrates why private property rights are central to a stable society and economic freedom. -- Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) Sandefur offers constructive suggestions for legal changes that would enhance the rights of owners and restore the vision of the Framers that linked property with individual liberty. This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on economic rights. -- James W. Ely, Jr., Vanderbilt University Law School For Tim Sandefur, property lies at the heart of every individual's personal identity and self-worth. Read his harrowing accounts of what happens when property rights are trampled here at home, and you see that the human dimension of property rights cannot be neglected in an ongoing debate that shapes the future well-being of our nation. -- Richard Epstein, University of Chicago Law School This timely and compelling book will greatly interest anyone seeking a better understanding of the state of property rights in America today. Concerned citizens and activists will find resources and inspiration in each chapter. -- Chip Mellor, president, Institute for Justice
