Abstract

"In this work of legal, political, and moral theory, Joseph William Singer offers a controversial new view of property and the entitlements and obligations of its owners. Singer argues against the conventional understanding that owners have the right to control their property as they see fit, with few limitations by government. Instead, property should be understood as a mode of organizing social relationships, he says, and he explains the potent consequences of this idea."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
