In/and. I think property rights is the best prism to view American history through, and am curious to read erudite works
Might I recommend Market Revolution by Thomas Sellers. Its a pretty fascinating book about capitalism, its place (or lack thereof) in democracy/the early American Republic, the shift from household economics to industrialism, and of course, property and the effect that had on various aspects of culture. If you are interested, I have a book review I wrote for it while I was an undergrad.
