This book explores ancient 'foundational' texts relating to
property and their reception by later thinkers in their various
contexts up to the early nineteenth century. The texts include
Plato's vision of an ideal polity in the Republic, Jesus' teachings
on renunciation and poverty, and Golden Age narratives and other
evolutionary accounts of the transition of mankind from primeval
communality to regimes of ownership. The issue of the legitimacy of
private ownership exercises the minds of the major political
thinkers as well as theologians and jurists throughout the ages.
The book gives full consideration to the historical development of
Rights Theory, with special reference to the right to property. It
ends with a comparative study of the Declarations of Rights in the
American and French Revolutions and seeks to explain, with
reference to contemporary documents, why the French recognised an
inalienable, human right to property whereas the Americans did not.
