The Myth of Property & Ownership
[these thoughts are still fetal and are rather incoherent]
I don’t really want to get into the ridiculous anarchist idea that PROPERTY = THEFT. Unfortunately, I may end up getting there.
I was listening to the Cato Daily Podcast yesterday about Intellectual Property and something that the guest said made me think about how the idea of American freedom that I picked up as a child was that when I grew up I could buy property and do whatever I wanted there. It would be my sovereign land. I always thought that I would be free to do whatever I wanted, including dropping off the face of the earth.
