Rezensionen

Reviews of the first publication:

"...there is important material in this book for anyone interested in questions of property and property rights in the changing economic and political configurations of our times."

-Jennifer Daryl Slack, Media, Culture & Society

"...for the policymaker and layman, the authors have produced a well-written, understandable, readable essay in a remarkably small number of pages on a subject that is recognized to be "one of the most complicated and esoteric branch of law." Because an essay of such high quality is an accomplishment itself, this layman reviewer recommends the book highly to every reader of this review."

-H. William Koch, Jurimetrics Journal
