Discussing both historical and theoretical aspects of takings law, the author argues that a weak federal state is a bad idea and that the Supreme Court's inability to develop a cohesive land use policy without Federal government participation has resulted in land use policy being set through ad hoc court rulings. He looks at the origin of the takings clause, the shaping of the American state, the Renaissance of land use from the 1970s-1990s, and the legal theories, economics, and politics of land use.
