"Mention of the American West usually evokes images of rough and tumble cowboys, ranchers, and outlaws. In contrast, "The" Not "So Wild, Wild West" casts America's frontier history in a new framework that emphasizes the creation of institutions, both formal and informal, that facilitated cooperation rather than conflict.

Despite agreement that an absence of welldefined and consistently enforced property rights results in the exploitation of air, water, and other natural resources, there is still widespread disagreement about many aspects of America's property rights paradigm. The prominent contributors to "Who Owns the Enviro ..."
