Land Rights cover

In the 1990s a grass-roots movement has sprung up among ordinary people to fight regulatory actions taking away their rights to land. In this collection of new essays, twelve distinguished scholars of economics, law, and public affairs address the history and causes of this movement. They document and analyze Supreme Court decisions on regulatory takings, enforcement activities of the Corps of Engineers and EPA, and case studies involving takings under the Endangered Species Act.

The essays . . . provide the reader with an excellent in-depth understanding of the property rights movement. This comprehensive and stimulating collection of essays provides a much-needed brief for those of us who cherish our constitutional guarantees. * Booknews *
