Property (ownership right) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The concept of property or ownership has no single or universally accepted definition. Like other foundational concepts which have great weight in public discourse, popular usage varies broadly. Various scholarly communities (e.g., law, economics, anthropology, sociology) may treat the concept more systematically, but their definitions likewise vary within and between fields. In common use, property is simply 'one's own thing' and refers to the relationship between individuals and the objects which they see as being their own to dispense with as they see fit. ..." |

"... no one has the right to legally prevent or retaliate against 'harms' to his property unless it is an act of physical invasion. Everyone has the right to have the physical integrity of his property inviolate; no one has the right to protect the value of his property, for that value is purely the reflection of what people are willing to pay for it." |

"The only 'natural' course for man to survive and to attain wealth ... is by using his mind and energy to engage in the production-and-exchange process. He does this, first, by finding natural resources, and then by transforming them ... to make them his individual property, and then by exchanging this property for the similarly obtained property of others." |
