Property Rights: Eminent Domain and Regulatory Takings Re-Examined (Book/ Paperback)

by Bruce L. Benson (Editor)

Product Overview

The U.S. Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. New London, has become a dramatic focal point for the broad use of eminent domain by the government, and has resulted in a widespread backlash. State legislatures all over the country have responded to the backlash by considering, and often attempting to impose, new constraints on the ability of local governments to take property from one private party and transfer it to another. There has also been a revival of academic interest in the issues of eminent domain and of takings.

Property Rights explores the uses and abuses of eminent domain and regulatory takings in four areas: proposed constraints on the use of eminent domain, compensation issues in theory and practice, eminent domain from a public choice perspective, and the spillover costs of takings. This comprehensive book brings together a diverse group of scholars and experts to explain the implications of this decision. Contributors include the attorney who represented Susette Kelo before the U.S. Supreme Court, the legal scholar who wrote Regulatory Takings, and experts on land value determination, land-use policy, environmental regulation, regulatory policy, entrepreneurial activities, and economic behavior.
