But in Commodity and Propriety, the first full-length history of the meaning of property, Gregory Alexander uncovers in American legal writing a competing vision of property that has existed alongside the traditional conception. Property, Alexander argues, has also been understood as proprietary, a mechanism for creating and maintaining a properly ordered society. This view of property has even operated in periods-such as the second half of the nineteenth century-when market forces seemed to dominate social and legal relationships.In demonstrating how the understanding of property as a private basis for the public good has competed with the better-known market-oriented conception, Alexander radically rewrites the history of property, with significant implications for current political debates and recent Supreme Court decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678030070048,"sku":"NEW0226013545","price":55.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71X_IfWv8jL.jpg?v=1779303187","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/commodity-propriety-0226013545","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
