Evolution of the Property Relation defines an approach to economics which is centered around the concept of property and explores the historical evolution of the relationship of the individual, private property, and the state, and the distinctive changes wrought by the emergence of the market.
"This book deals with a fundamental item of economics, which is seldom well analysed. ... The Evolution of the Property Relation is an essay that is interesting to all scholars of political economy. ... the book is accessible to all graduates, but the exact significance of all reasoning requires a certain experience on this field of historical institutional economics." (Stefano Solari, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Vol. 2, 2015)
