Property
Few political ideas are as divisive and controversial for some - and yet taken for granted by others - as the ownership of private property. After explaining what the right to ownership means, he introduces the radical case against property, as put by anarchist and socialist writers like Proudhon and Marx. For critics, property is institutionalised theft, responsible for lamentable levels of inequality and poverty; for its defenders, private ownership is a fundamental right that protects individual freedom and ensures wider economic benefits for the community.In this book, Robert Lamb explores philosophical arguments deployed to conceptualise, justify, and criticize private property ownership.
He goes on to outline possible responses to this radical critique - through discussions and assessments of the various defences of property advanced by Locke, Hume, Hegel, J.S. Mill,
