Recenzje

This is an extremely well written, very interesting, historically and philosophically informed work on Lockean/libertarian theories of property rights. Layman's discussion of the relatively unknown work of four 19th century thinkers—Thomas Hodgskin, John Bray, Lysander Spooner, and Henry George—sheds light on contemporary issues of self-ownership, world ownership, and equality. The book will be of interest to both political philosophers/theorists and to historians of political ideas.
