I'm really not up to speed on this. With that caveat, we all agree that eminent domain should be permitted when in the public interest, but the difficulty is in distinguishing public from private interests, right? From an economic perspective, why worry about this distinction? The minority's interests are protected by the requirement of compensation. (We all know that the compensation paid is usually a little low, but that's a problem about implementation, not principle.) So eminent domain is like efficient breach, no?
