If you are in the Williamsburg, Virginia area next week Wednesday, March 13, 2019, please hold the lunch hour (12:50-1:50pm, Room L127) on your calendar to come join us for a session with Howard Mansfield, author of the recently-published book "The Habit of Turning the World Upside Down - Our Belief in Property and the Cost of That Belief."
In November, we chatted with Mr. Mansfield, and this semester are basing a seminar on property rights at the William and Mary Law School on the book. Well worth reading. Here's the printable flyer.
His book is about property, property rights, and what he has discovered about how these ideas are processed by the American psyche. He will be speaking about how property fits with the culture—the competing narratives attached to the notion of ownership—and the often-contradictory way in which we view the idea of property and possession, illustrated by the issues burned into the headlines: pipelines, adaptation to climate change, the border wall, and cultural rights.
No charge. Public welcome. Light lunch served. Books available for purchase.
RSVP if you would like to attend.
Sponsored by the 2019 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference (Oct. 3-4, 2019), Waldo & Lyle (Norfolk, Virginia), and Damon Key Leong Kupchak Hastert (Honolulu, Hawaii).
Come join us for an interesting hour.
