Weaver shows that the enormous efforts involved in defining and registering large numbers of newly carved-out parcels of property for reallocation during the Great Land Rush were instrumental in the emergence of much stronger concepts of property rights and argues that this period was marked by a complete disregard for previous notions of restraint on dreams of unlimited material possibility. Today, while the traditional forms of colonization that marked the Great Land Rush are no longer practiced by the European powers and their progeny in the new world, the legacy of this period can be seen in the western powers' insatiable thirst for economic growth, including newer forms of economic colonization of underdeveloped countries, and a continuing evolution of the concepts of property rights, including the development and increasing growth in importance of intellectual property rights. 606 $aColonization$xHistory 606 $aLand settlement$zGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory 606 $aLand tenure$zGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory 606 $aRight of property$zGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xTerritorial expansion 615 0$aColonization$xHistory. 615 0$aLand settlement$xColonies$xHistory. 615 0$aLand tenure$xColonies$xHistory. 615 0$aRight of property$xColonies$xHistory. 676 $a323.4/6/09171241 700 $aWeaver$b John C$01605785 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822130903321 996 $aThe great land rush and the making of the modern world, 1650-1900$93974134 997 $aUNINA
