{"product_id":"colorado-doctrine-david-schorr-9780300134476","title":"Colorado Doctrine: Water Rights, Corporations, and Distributive Justice on the American Frontier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaking extensive use of archival and other primary sources, David Schorr demonstrates that the development of the \"appropriation doctrine,\" a system of private rights in water, was part of a radical attack on monopoly and corporate power in the arid West. Schorr describes how Colorado miners, irrigators, lawmakers, and judges forged a system of private property in water based on a desire to spread property and its benefits as widely as possible among independent citizens. He demonstrates that ownership was not dictated by concerns for economic efficiency, but by a regard for social justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Schorr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300134479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300134476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Schorr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057813090559,"sku":"9780300134476","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17e9a2be-8610-4e8b-94f1-421063f40d1e.jpg?v=1685049014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colorado-doctrine-david-schorr-9780300134476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
