-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY VITALSThe basic axiom of libertarian political theory holds that every man is a self owner, having absolute jurisdiction over his own body. In effect, this means that no one else may justly invade, or aggress against, another's person. It follows then that each person justly owns whatever previously unowned resources he appropriates or "mixes his labor with." From these twin axioms– self-ownership and "homesteading"– stem the justification for the entire system of property rights titles in a free-market society. This system establishes the right of every man to his own person, the right of donation, of bequest (and, concomitantly, the right to receive the bequest or inheritance), and the right of contractual exchange of property titles. - Rothbard, Murray N. (1982) "Law, Property Rights, and Air Pollution" Recommended Reading-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE ABOUT ME...
