I thought it was very interesting that this reading was much more about the philosophy of what property rights are, where they stem from and what they entail. The ideas surrounding who gets property and what "owning" something means are a nice side-step from what we've been looking at so far in Econ
1) How useful is property if you aren't allowed to transfer ownership?
2) Is does the right to future property fit into this picture?
3) If the government is a collection of people acting together, and the government owns something, what is the role of any individual citizen in that ownership? Do they have any property rights at all?
It's pretty clear that we read this to understand the sheer strength and significance of personal property rights to a secure market economy
