Reviews

‘Paul Cheshire and Christian Hilber have put together the “go-to” collection for any student interested in land market regulations and their effects. This volume gathers all the classics on the topic over the last sixty years with a welcome focus on recent developments in this active area of research. This collected volume is also very usefully supplemented by an insightful introduction by the two editors.’
