Ashford. t This article is dedicated to Dr. Louis 0. Kelso, whose concepts of private property and market economics give me special hope for democracy and economic justice. I have known Louis Kelso since 1970. From 1973 through 1977, I worked for and with him on various projects and undertakings. His steadfast dedication to solving the problem of poverty has been an inspiration to me. In the course of our professional relationship, we have also developed a close friendship. * Professor of Law, Syracuse University College of Law, Syracuse, New York. B.A. University of South Florida, 1965; J.D. Harvard University, 1969. The author is especially grateful to Dr. Kelso for the care he took in reviewing and commenting on two earlier drafts of this article. The author also expresses appreciation to Professors Nicholas A. Ashford, Richard M. Buxbaum, Samuel M. Fetters, Joe Kelley, P. John Kozyris, Banks McDowell, and D. Michael Risinger, and to Frank Conners, Esq. and Nikos Stamos, Esq., for helpful comments on earlier drafts of this article. Gratitude is also expressed for helpful comments at three faculty seminars: two at Syracuse University in 1988 and 1990, and one at Stetson University in 1989. Finally, special thanks to Cynthia Hendershott Egan, of The Kelso Institute, for her invaluable assistance in documenting this article.
