Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst
Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst
Michigan Law Review
This article examines the legislative techniques for taking land, showing their confiscatory operation. For many lawyers, the analysis would then be easily completed: confiscation is wrongful and must be condemned.
