Excerpt from Property and Contract in Their Relations to the Distribution of Wealth, Vol. 1
The delay has been in my case occasioned in large part by the multiplicity of demands made on my time by the rapidly growing Department of Political Economy in the University of Wisconsin. The connections of the Department have constantly increased and the close relations with the State in our effort to render public service have been the cause of many demands on time and strength. I have taken some personal satisfaction in finding myself not a worse sinner in this respect than all those upon whom the Tower of Siloam fell, for the prefaces to the books of Professor Wagner of Germany and Professor Marshall of England tell the same story of long-deferred hopes of publication.

It begins by examining the historical and social roots of property rights, contracts, and other legal institutions that impact wealth distribution. The author challenges conventional notions of private property and argues for a broader definition of property that includes all resources owned in common. The book also examines the relationship between public and private property, investigating how governments can use their powers of eminent domain and taxation to redistribute wealth. Thought-provoking and thoroughly researched, this book provides a new perspective on the complex relationship between property, contract, and the distribution of wealth in society.
