Summary
This book offers a broad examination of the forces that have made and continue to remake the law of property. Three themes in particular the inertial force of tradition, the reforming power of judicial and legislative activism, and the challenge of academic criticism form the foundation of this challenging work, which demonstrates both property law's enduring consistency and the unique and often drastic ways in which it has evolved in the modern era.
