Fundamental Rights Threatened as Property Rights Dominate, Experts Warn
In this article, the authors discuss how some rights are tied to people because of who they are (like universal human rights), while others are linked to specific things like property (which can be bought or sold). They argue that there's often a focus on property rights over human rights, which can cause confusion in understanding things like shared resources (common property) and private property. By looking at the ideas of Demsetz and Coase, they found that these theories sometimes ignore the importance of human rights. The authors suggest that it's crucial to balance different kinds of rights and responsibilities in society for the best outcomes.
