Dear
Colleagues:
Congratulations
go out to ODGer Christopher Essert on the publication of Property Law in the
Society of Equals with OUP: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/property-law-in-the-society-of-equals-9780197768952?cc=ca&lang=en&.
From the description:
Property is often seen as
fundamentally inegalitarian, leading many to believe that a world without
property would be a more equal one. Property Law in the Society of Equals challenges
this view, demonstrating instead that property is essential for a society of
equals. Property, as the legal realization of the idea of yours and mine,
creates the conditions for us to relate to each other on equal terms.
This conception of property allows for an
examination of many of its core doctrines, including trespass and nuisance law,
the law of acquisition, possession, and transfer, the law of leases, and the
law of servitudes. It also reveals the distinctive place of property within
private law more generally, and how to think about novel or controversial cases
of property rights. Moreover, the idea that property is fundamentally
egalitarian generates a radical critique of our present systems of property. It
shows that various forms of public law regulation of property - including the
right to housing and public housing itself - are justified by the same
principles that underlie the need for property in the first place.
Property Law in the Society of Equals offers a thorough and insightful account of a
fundamental legal subject matter, and a compelling call for the reform of
property on more egalitarian lines.
