Eigentumsrecht in Nationalsozialismus und Fascismo

Property theories are usually based on the conflict between the individual and society. Governments in the 19th century resolved this conflict principally by acting in favor of the freedom of the individual to enforce his property rights. Lawyers working during the eras of fascism and National Socialism tried to work out alternative property concepts and to adapt the law to the political goals of the regimes. Thorsten Keiser analyzes the lawyers' attempts to reshape property law to resolve the conflict between the social function of the law and the need to take advantage of the economic potential of private property. He then examines the fundamental differences between the various German and Italian concepts of property.
