- Title
LABOR, EXCLUSION, AND FLOURISHING IN PROPERTY LAW.
- Authors
CLAEYS, ERIC R.
- Abstract
This Article presents a natural rights justification for property rights in a theory called “productive labor theory.” Productive labor theory sets forth a Lockean, labor-based case for property. It links property to human interests in flourishing—specifically in interests in using ownable resources to produce constituent elements of survival or rational improvement. On this foundation, “labor” means intelligent and purposeful activity producing goods that contribute to survival or rational improvement.
