Property enhances autonomy for most people, but not for all. Because it both empowers and disables, property requires constant vigilance. A Liberal Theory of Property addresses key questions: how can property be justified? What core values should property law advance, and how do those values interrelate? How is a liberal state obligated to act when shaping property law? In a liberal polity, the primary commitment to individual autonomy dominates the justification of property, founding it on three pillars: carefully delineated private authority, structural (but not value) pluralism, and relational justice. A genuinely liberal property law meets the legitimacy challenge confronting property by expanding people's opportunities for individual and collective self-determination while carefully restricting their options of interpersonal domination. The book shows how the three pillars of liberal property account for core features of existing property systems, provide a normative vocabulary for evaluating central doctrines, and offer directions for urgent reforms.

'A Liberal Theory of Property is grand theory at its best. Hanoch Dagan has given us a deep theory that grounds property on the core liberal value of autonomy, more specifically, self-determination. Reciprocal self-determination is the foundation for two main pillars of his theory – structural pluralism and the right to be included. Dagan uses those two pillars to support a sweeping analysis of many property doctrines, ranging from fair housing laws to the numerus clausus principle. This is an enormously important contribution to property law and to liberal theory generally.' Gregory S. Alexander, A. Robert Noll Professor of Law, Emeritus, Cornell Law School
