Author: Schorr, Prof. David
Title: The Colorado Doctrine: Water Rights, Corporations, and Distributive Justice on the American Frontier (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference).
Description: New Haven : Yale University Press, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 256 pp.- Making extensive use of archival and other primary sources, David Schorr demonstrates that the development of the appropriation doctrine, a system of private rights in water, was part of a radical attack on monopoly and corporate power in the arid West. Schorr describes how Colorado miners, irrigators, lawmakers, and judges forged a system of private property in water based on a desire to spread property and its benefits as widely as possible among independent citizens. He demonstrates that ownership was not dictated by concerns for economic efficiency, but by a regard for social justice. Condition : as new. English text. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk.
