secondly that property is legitimate when it emerges in such a way as not to harm anyone and thirdly that historically some but by no means all property which has evolved has done so legitimately with the implication that the present distribution of property is a complex mixture of legitimately and illegitimately held titles 45 comte as proudhon later did rejected roman legal tradition with its toleration of slavery instead he posited a communal national property consisting of non scarce goods such as land in ancient hunter gatherer societies since agriculture was so much more efficient than hunting and gathering private property appropriated by someone for farming left remaining hunter gatherers with more land per person and hence did not harm them thus this type of land appropriation did not violate the lockean proviso there was still enough and as good left later theorists would use comte s analysis in response to the socialist critique of property pierre joseph proudhon property is theft edit main article property is theft in his 1840 treatise what is property pierre proudhon answers with property is theft in natural resources he sees two types of property de jure property legal title and de facto property physical possession and argues that the former is illegitimate proudhon s conclusion is that property to be just and possible must necessarily have equality for its condition his analysis of the product of labor upon natural resources as property usufruct is more nuanced he asserts that land itself cannot be property yet it should be held by individual possessors as stewards of humanity with the product of labor being the producer s property proudhon reasoned that any wealth gained without labor was stolen from those who labored to create that wealth even a voluntary contract to surrender the product of work to an employer was theft according to proudhon since the controller of natural resources had no moral right to charge others for the use of that which he did not labor to create did not own proudhon s theory of property greatly influenced the budding socialist movement inspiring anarchist theorists such as mikhail bakunin who modified proudhon s ideas as well as antagonizing theorists like karl marx frédéric bastiat property is value edit frédéric bastiat s main treatise on property can be found in chapter 8 of his book economic harmonies 1850 46 in a radical departure from traditional property theory he defines property not as a physical object but rather as a relationship between people concerning a thing thus saying one owns a glass of water is merely verbal shorthand for i may justly gift or trade this water to another person in essence what one owns is not the object but the object s value by value bastiat means market value he emphasizes this is quite different from utility in our relations with one another we are not owners of the utility of things but their value and value is the appraisal made of reciprocal services bastiat theorized that as a result of technological progress and the division of labor the stock of communal wealth increases over time that the hours of work an unskilled laborer expends to buy e g 100 liters of wheat decreases over time thus amounting to gratis satisfaction 47 thus private property continually destroys itself becoming transformed into communal wealth the increasing proportion of communal wealth to private property results in a tendency toward equality of humanity since the human race began in greatest poverty that is when there were the most obstacles to overcome all that has been achieved from one era to the next is due to the spirit of property this transformation of private property into the communal domain bastiat points out does not imply that personal property will ever totally disappear on the contrary this is because man as he progresses continually invents new and more sophisticated needs and desires andrew j galambos a precise definition of property edit andrew j galambos 1924 1997 was an astrophysicist and philosopher who innovated a social structure that sought to maximize human peace and freedom galambos concept of property was essential to his philosophy he defined property as a man s life and all non procreative derivatives of his life because the english language is deficient in omitting the feminine from man when referring to humankind it is implicit and obligatory that the feminine is included in the term man galambos taught that property is essential to a non coercive social structure he defined freedom as follows freedom is the societal condition that exists when every individual has full 100 control over his property 48 galambos defines property as having the following elements primordial property which is an individual s life primary property which includes ideas thoughts and actions secondary property includes all tangible and intangible possessions that are derivatives of the individual s primary property property includes all non procreative derivatives of an individual s life this means children are not the property of their parents 49 and primary property a person s own ideas 50 galambos repeatedly emphasized that actual government exists to protect property and that the state attacks property for example the state requires payment for its services in the form of taxes whether or not people desire such services since an individual s money is his property the confiscation of money in the form of taxes is an attack on property military conscription is likewise an attack on a person s primordial property contemporary views edit contemporary political thinkers who believe that natural persons enjoy rights to own property and enter into contracts espouse two views about john locke on the one hand some admire locke such as william h hutt 1956 who praised locke for laying down the quintessence of individualism on the other hand those such as richard pipes regard locke s arguments as weak and think that undue reliance thereon has weakened the cause of individualism in recent times pipes has written that locke s work marked a regression because it rested on the concept of natural law rather than upon harrington s sociological framework hernando de soto has argued that an essential characteristic of the capitalist market economy is the functioning state protection of property rights in a formal property system which records ownership and transactions these property rights and the whole legal system of property make possible greater independence for individuals from local community arrangements to protect their assets clear provable and protectable ownership the standardization and integration of property rules and property information in a country as a whole increased trust arising from a greater certainty of punishment for cheating in economic transactions more formal and complex written statements of ownership that permit the more straightforward assumption of shared risk and ownership in companies and insurance against the risk greater availability of loans for new projects since more things can serve as collateral for the loans easier access to and more reliable information regarding such things as credit history and the worth of assets increased fungibility standardization and transferability of statements documenting the ownership of property which paves the way for structures such as national markets for companies and the easy transportation of property through complex networks of individuals and other entities greater protection of biodiversity due to minimizing of shifting agriculture practices according to de soto all of the above enhance economic growth 51 academics have criticized the capitalist frame through which property is viewed pointing to the fact that commodifying property or land by assigning it monetary value takes away from the traditional cultural heritage particularly from first nation inhabitants 52 53 these academics point to the personal nature of property and its link to identity being irreconcilable with wealth creation that contemporary western society subscribes to 52 see also edit
