Description
Property Rights: Philosophic Foundations is a comprehensive examination of the general justifications for systems of private property rights. The author explores various arguments for and against property ownership, including those based on natural rights, disutility, virtue, and liberty.
The book presents a concise yet sophisticated theory of property that addresses the modern world's complexities. The author argues that four sound lines of argument for private property must be coordinated with what is sound in the anti-property arguments to form the foundations of a new theory.
Becker's work provides insight into the implications of his theory, making it relevant to anyone interested in understanding the philosophical foundations of property rights.
