Hodgskin vs. Spencer on Land Rights
By Roderick Long On May 18, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Rights Theory, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land
Those who followed our recent Land Symposium might be interested in Thomas Hodgskin’s critique of Herbert Spencer’s views on land (and possibly also my critique of both Hodgskin and Spencer).
No Alternative to Public Revenue from Land Rent
By Fred Foldvary On April 27, 2012 · 32 Comments · In Economics, Libertarianism, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land, Uncategorized
Finer points aside, nobody has offered a specific and coherent and realistic more efficient and equitable alternative for public revenue than land rent or land value.
Land From The Ground Up
By David Schmidtz On April 27, 2012 · 13 Comments · In Academic Philosophy, Libertarianism, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land
Our days are a vast, intricate, evolving dance of mutual understandings.1 We stop at a traffic light, offer a plastic card as payment for a meal, leave our weapons at home, or enter a voting booth. We live and work in close proximity, at high speed, with few collisions: on our roads and [...]
On Burdens, Community, and Provisos
By Eric Mack On April 26, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Left-libertarianism, Libertarianism, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land
First, I would like to thank all those commentators who responded to what I wrote in “Natural Rights and Natural Stuff.” Second, I would like to clarify or restate a few of the basic points that I sought to make in that contribution.
To begin with, I did [...]
I may be writing under false pretenses. Although I was invited here to make a case for the “occupancy-and-use” or usufructory land property theory of P.J. Proudhon, J.K. Ingalls and Benjamin Tucker, I’m going to devote most of this article to what it has in common with other libertarian [...]
Self-Ownership and External Property
By Roderick Long On April 25, 2012 · 92 Comments · In Left-libertarianism, Libertarianism, Rights Theory, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land
What kind of external property rights are consistent with self-ownership?
It seems to me that once one acknowledges self-ownership, one cannot acknowledge any other rights unless those rights are themselves grounded in self-ownership.
How so? Well, the difference between rights and other moral claims is that rights are legitimately enforceable. So any limits that [...]
David Friedman recently wrote “One reason to respect natural rights is that it is a good thing to do, another is that respecting them can be expected to produce a healthier, wealthier, and happier world than violating them.” It is in that spirit that I approach the issue of this symposium: since [...]
The Geolibertarian Ethics of Land Rent
By Fred Foldvary On April 25, 2012 · 35 Comments · In Left-libertarianism, Libertarianism, Symposium on Libertarianism and Land
I coined the term “geolibertarian” in 1981 to designate the branch of libertarian philosophy which deems the natural rent to equally belong to human beings.
Public finance theory prescribes land rent as an efficient source of public revenue. The issue here is whether there is harmony between what is economically efficient and what is morally [...]
Note: the following is a review of Hillel Steiner’s Essay on Rights that was originally published in the Canadian Journal of Philosophy, vol. 26, no. 2 (June, 1996), pp. 283-302. The criticisms it presents appear to apply to Steiner’s current views, including those presented in his
To start off: Why should libertarians be bothered about, specifically, rights to natural resources?1 Why single out these entitlements, rather than looking at property rights in general and asking how any of them can be justified, if they can be justified at all? After all, the domain of distributive justice – of moral [...]
