These discussions initiate a new debate on the insufficiency of existing approaches to compensation that are ignorant of the losses of ‘capabilities’ and ‘functionings’. The relationship between land, ownership and well-being of an individual is explained through the identification of various ‘functionings’ associated with the ownership of land in the context of Scotland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary approaches to compensation, founded on the utilitarian argument, have led to dissatisfactory outcomes for the affected landowners. Discussions in this book shift the focus to equalizing the share of burdens and benefits for each individual member of the society, through equalization of human capabilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of value to development economists, researchers, policy makers and law makers concerned with compulsory acquisition of land.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811314407\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-13-1441-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 115\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525810110604,"sku":"9789811314407","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811314407.jpg?v=1776027607","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811314407","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
