Against the Tide: Connecticut Oystering, Hybrid Property, and the Survival of the Commons

Overview
Property theorists hypothesize a trend of evolution toward efficiency and conventionally hold formal privatization out as the logical endpoint of this trend. Oystering, in particular, has often been cited as a context in which privatization is highly efficient. Nonetheless, in the nineteenth century, public ownership of Connecticut's valuable oyster grounds persisted throughout decades of economic and technological change. The history of Connecticut's hybrid regime in oyster grounds, which variably applied enclosure and common ownership to otherwise similarly situated areas, shows that such regimes can emerge and thrive for both economic and political reasons.
