The Problem of Property

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents Karl Widerquist's "indepentarian" theory of property, focusing on "Justice as the Pursuit of Accord" (JPA). It critiques the traditional natural-rights arguments supporting unequal private property, asserting that such systems violate the principle of equal freedom from interference. Widerquist proposes a property system that promotes freedom while recognizing that taxes and regulations are essential for managing resource use. He advocates for redistributing tax revenue through a Universal Basic Income to ensure that the property system benefits all individuals.
