In this installment of “Books of Our Time,” Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law will interview Steven Greenhut, a reporter for the “Orange County Register.” Greenhut has written a provocative book entitled "Abuse Of Power: How The Government Misuses Eminent Domain" about how the government is undermining the U.S. constitutional protection of private property. Property across the United States is being taken in the name of the public good by the government only to be later turned over to private development companies for the construction of hotels, amusement parks and stadiums. What does this mean for the future of private property in America?
