| Abstract | Land ownership by individual citizens is a cornerstone of American heritage and a centerpiece of the American dream. Yet the question of who owns America not only remains unanswered but is central to a fundamental conflict that can pit private property rights advocates against government policymakers and environmentalists. The book begins with the popular view of land ownership as seen through the television show Bonanza! It examines public regulation of private land; public land management; the roles culture and ethnic values play in land use; and concludes with Jacobs' title essay. |
