Alongside environmental degradation, the globally unequal distribution of wealth is one of the key political problems of our age. Volume 3 of Just Property provides an account of how we might re-think how property works for us (collectively) and what we might do to fix the problems that we all face.

This third and concluding volume of Just Property brings critical accounts of property right up to the present. The book is made up of five pairs of chapters located in five major ideological traditions of modernity: liberalism, libertarianism, social democracy, conservatism, and feminism. As before, the focus is on particular thinkers and their daring, puzzling and sometimes outrageous views. The concluding chapter returns to the project's opening questions about property and inequality and about property under the imperative of growth to limits. If we are to confront the enormous challenges that loom in front of us, we have, above all else, to think again, and quite radically, about the place of property in our collective lives.

Christopher Pierson has been Professor of Politics at the University of Nottingham since 1996. He has held visiting positions at the Australian National University, the University of California, Santa Barbara, Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore), the University of Auckland, and at the Hansewissenschaftskolleg in Lower Saxony. He has published extensively on the themes of the welfare state, the problems of social democracy and, over the last decade, on the politics of property.
