You know, after thinking about it thisevening, I'm absolutely
(intuitively) convinced. All theories of economics which take a
position against property rights must be implicitly based on a (most
likely) flawed assumption: that resources are finite in some dimension,
either in range of products of value, or range of value of total
resources, etc. That assumption makes that flavor of economics into an
(admittedly large) zero-sum game, and that just doesn't fit with
observed socioeconomic history in a macro perspective.
