Removing the Commons examines the moral condition in which people
can remove--through either use or appropriation--natural resources
from the commons. This task begins with a robust defense of the
view that natural resources initially belong to all people.
Granting that natural resources initially belong to all people, it
follows that all people have a claim that limits the way in which
others may go about taking or removing natural resources from the
commons. In assessing these limitations, Eric Roark argues for a
Lockean left-libertarian theory of justice in which all people have
the right of self-ownership and may only remove natural resources
from the commons if they adhere to the Lockean Proviso by leaving
"enough and as good" for others. Roark's account goes beyond
existing treatments of the Lockean Proviso by insisting that the
duty to leave enough and as good for others applies not merely to
those who appropriate natural resources from the commons, but also
to those who use natural resources within the commons. Removing the
Commons defends a Georgist interpretation of the Lockean Proviso in
which those who remove natural resources from the commons must pay
the competitive rent of their removal in a fashion that best
promotes equal opportunity for welfare. Finally, Roark gives
extended consideration to the implications that the developed
Lockean Left-Libertarian account of removing natural resources from
the commons poses toward both global poverty and environmental
degradation.
