AIER Scholarship Recommended by EJW

Progress and Property Rights: From the Greeks to Magna Carta to the Constitution by Walker F. Todd (2009) is about the history of property-rights doctrines. It highlights the “exclusion” conception of property, as opposed to the “bundle of rights” conception. Dr. Todd explains that the U.S. concept of property rights can be traced back to biblical times. As recent eminent domain cases in the United States show, the evolution continues. Particular attention is paid to 17th century England.

Highly recommended for institutional use in law and economics, economic development, institutional economics, and economic philosophy.

Walker F. Todd, J.D., Ph.D., is a research fellow with AIER. Todd teaches a course to economics students participating in AIER’s Summer Fellowship Program on the origins and competing theories of property rights. He is an attorney and served as an economic consultant for 20 years with the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and Cleveland.
