The commercial society has long been depicted by Marx as a complex and intricate machine, with law being the mechanism that maintains its operation. Law is not merely about the principles of morality and justice, nor is it solely the fair doctrines of moral teachings, but also a highly operational, precise, and specific technical expertise. This book introduces the fundamental content of property law, including exclusive and access rights to land, easements, co-ownership, the leasing and transactions of real estate, public management of land use, personal property, and intellectual property rights. It covers laws such as the Fair Housing Act, the Personal Property Law, and the Intellectual Property Law, explaining the various principles of U.S. property law and their policy foundations, emphasizing the role of states in property.
