Editorial Reviews

This book deals with a fundamental item of economics, which is seldom well analysed. … The Evolution of the Property Relation is an essay that is interesting to all scholars of political economy. … the book is accessible to all graduates, but the exact significance of all reasoning requires a certain experience on this field of historical institutional economics.” (Stefano Solari, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Vol. 2, 2015)
