Examining the origin and development of the private property rights
system from prehistory to the present day This book debunks three
false claims commonly accepted by contemporary political
philosophers regarding property systems: that inequality is
natural, inevitable, or incompatible with freedom; that capitalism
is more consistent with negative freedom than any other conceivable
economic system; and that the normative principles of appropriation
and voluntary transfer applied in the world in which we live
support a capitalist system with strong, individualist and unequal
private property rights. The authors review the history of the use
and importance of these claims in philosophy, and use thorough
anthropological and historical evidence to refute them. They show
that societies with common-property systems maintaining strong
equality and extensive freedom were initially nearly ubiquitous
around the world, and that the private property rights system was
established through a long series of violent state-sponsored
aggressions.
