But in Commodity and Propriety, the first full-length history of the meaning of property, Gregory Alexander uncovers in American legal writing a competing vision of property that has existed alongside the traditional conception. Property, Alexander argues, has also been understood as proprietary, a mechanism for creating and maintaining a properly ordered society. This view of property has even operated in periods-such as the second half of the nineteenth century-when market forces seemed to dominate social and legal relationships. In demonstrating how the understanding of property as a private basis for the public good has competed with the better-known market-oriented conception, Alexander radically rewrites the history of property, with significant implications for current political debates and recent Supreme Court decisions. 606 $aProperty$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aProperty$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCivil society$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProperty$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aProperty$xHistory. 615 0$aCivil society$xHistory. 676 $a330.1/7 700 $aAlexander$b Gregory S.$f1948-$0938904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455462603321 996 $aCommodity & propriety$92116467 997 $aUNINA
