Subject: On Property Ownership

SwimmingUpstream,

Good Morning.

We seem to have established several foundational concepts upon which
to advance our previous conversations. First, we seem to agree to the idea that men
are possessed of the right to ownership of transportable tangible property.
Secondly, we seem to agree that men have a right to the fruits of their
industry (given that the fruits of their industry represent an investment in
time which is necessary to his survival).

Given our agreement that man has property rights (insofar as portable
property is concerned) and that man has the right to the product of his own
industry (given that this is his means of survival) how would man be able to
protect his industrial investment in the land (improvements such as
agricultural and habitational) if he cannot claim ownership of that land?

Let's table the discussion of methods of acquisition for the time being, and
focus on the concept of ownership in the present.

How can man be expected to invest his efforts of industry in the land, if he
cannot expect to secure his efforts through a claim of ownership for his
investment?
