by princevince on 2005-04-20 09:19:52Property is a state-protected monopoly over the use of certain objects. This is inefficient since it restricts its use when it might be benificial for people other than the owner. It would be better to exchange the system of owner rights to a model where the claimer with highest potential of social benefit receives the rights. -

by anonymous on 2005-04-21 00:59:34Power corrupts. Giving the Government the decision of who controls certain private property would be pooling power into one place. It's my observation that that amount of concentrated power attracts corrupt people. As I often hear Harry Browne say: "The problem isn't the abuse of power, it's the power to abuse."
