So social engineering then? Again, what a surprise. Its not clear what you are saying? Are you saying that human forms of association HAVE changed, and therefore property rights should also change? Or that human forms of association NEED to change? Property rights are the best system we currently have. They allow maximum incentive and possibility for innovation, and lead to the most efficient outcomes, giving us the growth we currently enjoy. It does mean that you end up with disparities, but even then, it lifts the bottom section of society up even as it lifts the upper section. Poor people now, in general, at least in the west, are still way better off than probably 99% of people who have ever lived. Removing property rights has never resulted in a better outcome than having property rights. What are you proposing to replace them with, and how do you know that the new system would work? |
