{"product_id":"the-problem-of-property-karl-widerquist-9783031219504","title":"The Problem of Property: Taking the Freedom of Nonowners Seriously","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is Karl Widerquist's first statement of the \"indepentarian\" theory of property, called, \"Justice as the Pursuit of Accord\" (JPA). It argues the natural-rights-based arguments for unequal private property have failed to establish that institution as right. It is a legal privilege, inconsistent with the maximum equal freedom from interference. The book discusses how to establish and maintain a property system that best promotes freedom from interference. Paying taxes and obeying regulations is part of the purchase price of the right to control, use, or use-up any good made partly out of natural resources (i.e. all goods), because doing so interferes with people who control, use, or use-up fewer natural resources. A sufficient portion of that tax revenue has to be redistributed in the form of a Universal Basic Income to ensure the property system is in the interest of everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Widerquist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031219503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031219504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.34d","brand":"Karl Widerquist","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761140199679,"sku":"9783031219504","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_355c4d72-c64b-4de6-a831-7cab722a87d5.jpg?v=1706680486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-problem-of-property-karl-widerquist-9783031219504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
