Description

No domestic policy issue more angers or galvanises the public than the controversy over eminent domain—the taking of private property for public use. The stakes in this always controversial procedure have been dramatically raised in recent years as eminent domain has been used to fund private development, as the notorious Kelo case in New London, CT demonstrated last year.

The practice of using eminent domain to enrich municipalities is an incendiary issue. Veteran journalist Carla Main takes a hard look at this practice and delivers an incisive exposé that is sure to be widely read and hotly debated.

Bulldozed is a compelling investigation that challenges the ethical boundaries of eminent domain, questioning the balance between private rights and public gain. Main provides a thorough, engaging critique of this controversial practice.
