Property Rights in Land widens our understanding of property rights by looking through the lenses of social history and sociology, discussing mainstream theory of new institutional economics and the derived grand narrative of economic development. Written by a collection of expert authors, the chapters delve into social processes through which property relations became institutionalized and were used in social action for the appropriation of resources and rent. This was in order to gain a better understanding of the social processes intervening between the institutionalized ‘rules of the game’ and their economic and social outcomes.

De acuerdo a la economía institucional, las instituciones serían agentes esenciales del progreso económico y del progreso agrícola. Contar con derechos de propiedad claros constituye un factor de crecimiento de la producción y un sistema de propiedad perfecto sería una condición prioritaria para alcanzar el progreso en la agricultura. Por ello se realizan los cercamientos en Inglaterra, mientras que en Francia la revolución y el Código Civil y su adopción mas allá de sus fronteras, serían los motores del desarrollo económico en el campo; con la salvedad de que no existieron cercamientos en Francia, ni un código civil y un derecho de propiedad absoluto en Inglaterra. Sin embargo la gran propiedad inglesa habría acompañado la innovación, mientras que la pequeña propiedad francesa no la experimentaría tanto. Un derecho de propiedad absoluto, perfecto, facilitaría, entre otras cosas, la circulación de la propiedad a través de un mercado inmobiliario liberado de las trabas que le impiden funcionar. A su vez un mercado inmobiliario activo permitiría asegurar una selección de los mejores agricultores y promovería un aumento de la producción. Este libro examina estas construcciones ideológicas que no siempre acompañan a la realidad en la medida en que transmiten muchas inexactitudes y contradicciones. No está claro, por ejemplo que la propiedad imperfecta sea un obstáculo para el crecimiento de la agricultura. Tampoco es evidente que la desaparición de todas las formas de propiedad superpuestas y de sus usos, o la supresión de propiedades colectivas sean necesarias para lograr una revolución agrícola, ni tampoco indispensables para acelerar la circulación de bienes inmobiliarios
