Notes: Volume 1. Clean, solid hardcover copy. Pencil lines drawn in margins next to paragraphs throughout, but no underlining or highlighting. Bump to bottom corner of text block has left a faint bend in the tips of most pages. Fairly minor and does not affect readability. Light bumps to cover corners, spine ends, and front cover fore edge. Binding firm and square. Bound in ribbon marker is somewhat frayed at the end. Jacket has light surface and edge wear but still looks quite good. Good copy for personal use.

About the Book

Property rights are human rights. They protect an external sphere of freedom of human beings as such and of their free associations.

A working property system is an indispensable vehicle of ethical, economic, and political progress. Especially small property owners, women, and fragile groups such as refugees can claim the protection of property rights as human rights. In this book, leading experts deal with the manifold problems of the concrete realization of property rights in different cultural and historical contexts and from different thematic angles. Additionally, property rights are put into the context of a more comprehensive system of human rights protection.
