Karol Boudreaux, Paul Dragos Aligica
The key to successful property reform lies in understanding the de facto environment, including the stakeholders involved, the broad institutional environment, and the customs that apply to property use and transfer.  Each factor calls for a discrete response to promote cooperation. When evolutionary or legislative changes to a property-rights environment reflect broad social consensus about how to allocate resources, these changes are more likely to be respected and enforced.
