From the Inside Flap
"Drawing on history, economics, and legislative and institutional processes, Hannesson provides a lucid, sometimes provocative, but always stimulating account of the development and implementation of property rights in fisheries. He begins with the English enclosures and ends with a description and evaluation of current systems around the world."
--Lee G. Anderson, Professor, University of Delaware
"Hannesson has taken an extremely complex subject and written an honest book that can be read by almost anyone with an interest in oceans and the environment. He provides the institutional background, economic theory, and several nations' experiences necessary to clearly understand the causes of success and failure in the world's fisheries."
--Daniel Georgianna, Chancellor Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
"Should anyone own the oceans' fish? *The Privatization of the Oceans* tackles this controversial question in a lucid exposition of the history, politics, and economics of fisheries. With insight and wit, Rögnvaldur Hannesson explains how the global trend toward property rights in fisheries is the contentious but unavoidable path to economic prosperity."
--Susan Hanna, Professor of Marine Economics, Oregon State University
