Default Re: A theory of ownership

Thank you rj, I value your compliment!

As for Rasczak's question, the answer depends entirely on the theory of ownership.

Using Rasczak's definition, I don't own much. The land I use was taken by force. Worse, I have no way to know if the trade for goods purchased was fair ... my guess is that much was not. Most of what I make depends on something someone else did. So the answer is (relative to his theory): I don't know, and probably not much.
