Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Supreme Court's decision in the Kelo case created a firestorm of interest in protecting property rights. Through real-life stories and solid legal analysis, this book shows why property rights are the cornerstone of liberty, how they are protected in the U.S. Constitution, and it critically examines how courts and legislatures have diminished property rights, and then lays out an agenda for protecting property rights in the future. |
