Abstract
Yun-chien Chang’s Property Law: Comparative, Empirical, and Economic Analysis, is an impressive piece of scholarship. Ten years in the making, Yun-chien has developed the most comprehensive comparative analysis of property law ever undertaken. The effort involved was herculean. He consulted codes in eight different languages and translations into these languages of dozens of others, enlisted the assistance of a small army of research assistants, and solicited the assistance of scholars and lawyers from around the world. The result is nothing less than revelatory. Anyone interested in property law, even if only from the perspective of their own legal system, will have their eyes opened by the book. It is a major achievement by any measure.
