A General Abridgment of Law and Equity, Alphabetically Digested Under Proper

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early history of the legal and social institution of property, providing a fuller historical context than other sources. The author argues that concepts of private property are not rooted in distant antiquity but instead emerged gradually out of a complex interplay of factors over centuries, mostly economic and practical. The author focuses especially on ancient Greece and Rome, arguing that the legal systems of these civilizations, like those of Western nations until recently, conceptualized property as existing not solely in land, goods, and money, but also in persons, especially in children and slaves. The author considers the many legal arguments, from the ancient world through the present day, on behalf of the ownership of humans by other humans. By providing historical perspective on the essential legal institution of property, this book helps us to better understand the ways in which societies have conceived of both property and freedom.
