Critical Acclaim
‘This book contains illuminating and carefully written literature reviews on the central topics of the economics of property rights and institutions. As a bonus, it includes two fascinating chapters on topics off the beaten path – slavery and new types of property rights in environmental goods. This book will be indispensible for students and experienced scholars alike.’
