Brendan Edgeworth

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Notion of private property has outlived its usefulness in a number of respects such as, from the perspective of legal doctrine, its descriptive value greatly diminished by a wide range of economic and legal developments in the course of the last century. It is found that early modernity saw property as a bundle of things, whereas late modernity embraced a notion of property as a bundle of rights.
