Professor Jessica Shoemaker's article, Re-Placing Property, was reviewed by Yael Lifshitz, senior lecturer in Property Law at The Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London, in JOTWELL: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots)

In her review, Lifshitz asserts, "the key contribution of Professor Shoemaker’s article is in drawing attention to the fact that land as land, and land as wealth are not the same, in either economic or social terms. Yet 'property' as a category, as the conceptual tool that allows us to govern resources in a distributed manner, applies to both."
