The Economic Theory of Eminent Domain Hardback: Private Property, Public Use - Tapa dura

'Thomas Miceli offers a thorough and readable review of modern economic theories of eminent domain, several of which he has been instrumental in developing. This will be the 'go-to' book on the subject for years to come. Seasoned scholars and students will benefit from his accessible descriptions and careful development of the major principles.' William Fischel, Dartmouth College

'Miceli's book is a must-read for anyone with a substantive interest in the law and economics of property. Its clear, comprehensive, non-technical exposition makes it readily accessible to students of law, politics, and economics.' Daniel L. Rubinfeld, University of California, Berkeley

'No scholar is better suited than Tom Miceli to write about the economics of eminent domain. This superb book reflects Tom's strong analytic and superior expository skills.' Perry Shapiro, University of California, Santa Barbara

'Thomas Miceli's book on eminent domain will provide for the first time a theoretical work devoted to the economic underpinnings of this basic feature of property law. Because of Miceli's expertise in the field of eminent domain and the accessibility of the book - it is not technical - it should provide a valuable resource to a wide audience.' Steven Shavell, Harvard Law School
