• Contents: Preface 1. Law and the New Normal: Reimagining Property 2. Criminalising Property 3. Liberating Property 4. Property Bonded 5. Property Resisted 6. Re-embedding Original Property through Repositioned Law 7. Property as the Social Bibliography Index

'In this stimulating book Mark Findlay provocatively explores the relevance of the regulatory role of law in a rapidly changing world. It situates law in its broader context of relationships defined by power, property and market economies. In so doing, it identifies the new challenges of late post modern society, but also challenges existing assumptions, about these themes and their interconnections, whilst introducing new perspectives to those who may not even have considered some of the transformational issues discussed.' --David S. Wall, University of Leeds, UK'`Worldwide, legal regulation of ''property'' in all its many manifestations is the foundational support for the economy. To a greater or lesser extent, it is under both literal and theoretical attack everywhere too. Its role in the digital world is viewed as increasingly irrelevant by younger generations; national systems of regulation struggle Canute-like to control global ebbs and flows of information. This book challenges its reader to think, to imagine a world without the security of hitherto accepted notions of property. The author admits that he is tackling ''heavy analytical questions''. Whether you agree or disagree with his arguments and answers, it is essential to start thinking about them now. Or, as Paul Mason might put it: ''The property paradigm is metastasizing. Societies and communities are under threat from an unstable cocktail of over- and under-regulation.'' Findlay tackles head-on the hard questions about where we go from here.'--David Llewelyn, Kings College London, UK
