摘要
美国法律对私人产权的保护 ,并不等于私有财产神圣不可侵犯。美国法律史研究表明 ,这个国家的法律不是只保护既得权利 ,而是更倾向于保护动态产权 ;它不是只保护私人产权 ,而是对公共权利也相当重视 ;它不是只保护现有产权 ,而是在创造新产权上也敢于进行尝试。为了经济增长和社会发展 ,美国法律并不畏惧必要时限制私人产权。正是由于在私人产权和社会经济的长远利益之间保持了一定的平衡 。
There is no doubt that American laws protect private property rights. But it does not mean that private property rights are sacred and inviolable. American legal history tells us that what has been protected is not just vested rights but, more importantly, the dynamic property rights; not just private property rights but also public property rights. The laws not only protect existing property rights but also attempt to create new property rights. Whenever it is necessary, the American legal system has been ready to promote economic growth and social development by limiting private property rights. Partly because of the balance between private property rights and long-term social benefits, we have witnessed the great success of the American capitalist economy in spite of its problems.
