The Gridlock Economy: How Too Much Ownership Wrecks Markets, Stops Innovation, and Costs Lives

A clearly written and entertaining look at the ugly side of private property. I am a libertarian, so it usually takes a bit to convince me that things like eminent domain are acceptable solutions to a problem. This book manages that, and also suggests alternatives to the heavy hand of government intervention. The author claims that recognizing the existence of economic gridlock is the first step to solving it, so I am recommending this to anyone who works in a tech field. Much like "The Innovator's Dilemma", I can now use this book as a starting point for discussion of these issues.
