Private Property Rights Threatened as Ownership Customs Deemed Paramount
In the article "Property rights rule," the author discusses the importance of property rights. They argue that while Bart Wilson suggests that property comes from customs rather than rights, property rights are actually more crucial. The author believes that people with property care most about their rights to that property. They also think that Wilson overly emphasizes individual ownership and doesn't consider shared or government ownership enough. The author suggests that including various forms of ownership in our understanding of property could enhance our ability to explain different property rights. Ultimately, the author thinks that even though ideas about property are essential, property rights still reign supreme.
