"Eminent Domain: To Preserve or To Abolish": A debate between Jeffrey Finkle and Yaron Brook

Summary: Does the government have a moral right to take citizens' property under certain conditions---or do citizens have an absolute right to their personal property? Does robust economic development require the occasional use of eminent domain---or would economic progress be greater if property rights were upheld as truly inalienable? What are the moral issues involved in eminent domain? What are the practical issues? Are the moral and the practical necessarily at odds---or can they be reconciled? Mr. Finkle and Dr. Brook will present the facts in support of their respective positions.
