THE HISTORY, PRESENT DAY APPLICATIONS, AND FUTURE OF PROPERTY LAW: Basic Principles of Property Law: A Comparative Legal and Economic Introduction

Abstract

Property law, as it varies from country to country throughout the world, is thought to be as different as the people of those nations. But in essence, most property law has the same substance; it is only different in form. The idea behind Basic Principles of Property Law: A Comparative Legal and Economic Introduction is that there is a basic comparative framework of how property law has developed in successful countries such as Britain, Germany, Italy, and America. This basic framework is what a country, transitioning from communism, could use to help set up its own property law, based on the centralized ideas of the other countries. This project is not the sole idea of author Ugo Mattei, of the University of Turin, Italy. Rather, the book is a project sponsored by the Constitutional and Legislative Policy Institute in Budapest. These common legal and economic ideas, problems, and solutions can help nations develop a legal foundation for a new working market.
