Private Property Rights (Point/Counterpoint) (Point/Counterpoint: Issues in Contemporary American Society)
Synopsis
What sort of rights are entailed in the ownership of private property? The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that ""private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation""; this has been read to imply that the government may take private property if it provides ""just compensation."" This provision has been used by the government to compel citizens to sell their property in order to clear space to build public roads, parks, or even commercial spaces. But these public benefits come at a cost and, now, those who have lost land or the physical or economic use of their land are fighting back. This debate is explored in Private Property Rights, an objective guide that will enhance readers' understanding of this pivotal issue.

Review
..."well organized, clearly written, and include a rich array of bibliographic resources."
..."well-organized, concise, and comprehensive arguments on both sides of several controversial issues... Recommended."
"CombinÝes¨ a strong historical overview with up-to-date discussion...High schoolers may be the primary audience for this, but adults will find much to discuss here, too."
"A little over a hundred pages of material in each offers the perfect platform to fuel a classroom debate. All are highly recommended picks, offering lasting library lending value."
"Unlike similar titles in a number of other series, these books were written by individual authors and offer clear, well-supported theories that make use of many examples...these volumes have a definite place in libraries where material on these topics is needed for more adept readers and researchers."
