Interest in the history of ownership rights is expanding across various disciplines, with historians focusing on the emergence of private ownership as established in 19th-century liberal Europe. However, this narrative often overlooks the restrictions imposed by sovereign authorities on these rights, purportedly for the community's benefit. The collected papers argue that private property is not necessarily the most secure legal model and is, in fact, vulnerable to violations. They provide a detailed examination of common abuses of private property, such as expropriation, seizure, and confiscation, carried out by public authorities. Additionally, the contributions explore the complex and often ambiguous relationship between legality and legitimacy. Through a nuanced lens, the roles of confiscation and expropriation are re-evaluated, revealing them as both powerful agents of change and persistent factors in the conservation of private ownership rights. The discussions highlight the intricate dynamics of property rights, emphasizing that the history of ownership is multifaceted, shaped by both legal frameworks and the actions of those in power.
