The basic question is "Who owns what?"
This book deals with the economic sense of property rights, in other words, "who owns what?". Property rights are not defined uniformly across cultures since societies have discretion as to how to define those rights. In fact, they are very often not perfectly delineated. People can delineate those rights under the shadow of the law or ask a court to settle their case. The common view that commodities are homogenous entities with only one attribute gives rise to the conclusion that the right is either owned by someone or not owned. In real life, assets incorporate several attributes, whose ownership is not always perfectly delineated. Under certain circumstances it is too costly to measure and protect all assets' attributes. When circumstances change, conflicts can arise.Neoclassical literature instead assumes simplistically that transaction costs are zero and that all property rights are perfectly well delineated. Once you can take into consideration intermediate cases (common and private goods, environment, contractual rights etc) as Barzel does in this book, you can have a more complete model to price goods, which come logically from well-defined first principles. A must read for public economists and (why not?) lawyers.

Superb treatise on property rights.
This book is written from the neoclassical perspective and takes a sensible and thoughtful approach to property rights.This book provides the reader insight into how property rights define how society organizesitself.Building on Public Choice Theory, Barzel explores how propertyrights are delineated in many situations, addressing head on the Tragedy ofthe Commons. The Meaning of Property Right Economics

It should be a suitable basis of learning scientific new insitutional economics. Onceyou have read this book, you will know the correct meaning of economics ofproperty rights. ... Read more

Great Idea, not convincingly written...
The author took a wonderful idea (Geography as a factor in growth) and extensive research, and combined them into a book that would have done better as individual articles. The data was extensive, but the structure of the book did not make for a comprehensive read, and left me (as a reader) without a clean understanding of the authors point. A wonderful idea, but a bit hard to trudge through. ... Read more

Western Public Lands Policy and Democracy
Daniel Kemmis, the author of this thoughtful boook, is the director of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West at the University of Montana and formerly served as the mayor of Missoula Montana.He describes himself early in the book as a democrat with a capital "D".However he makes proposals for local control of management decisions on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management Lands in the Western States that are ordinarily associated with Republican or conservative positions.Read more
