About this title

Synopsis

The essays in this book tap the analytical potential of social contexts in which property rights are embedded - social relations, power and agency, political institutions, culture - to understand how landed resources are appropriated in actual historical societies. This exploratory approach seeks both to take advantage of the existing theory of property rights, as it is applied by the institutionalist outlook on economic history, and to go beyond it by explicitly incorporating social processes and factors in the analysis of property institutions. With this common aim in mind, the book covers a wide variety of historical cases throughout space and time, from the late Middle Ages in Tuscany to the very recent past of the de-collectivisation of the countryside in former socialist countries, which we hope will contribute rich and grounded insights to the discussion of the topic and of its implications.
