| Summary: | In this book Billy Christmas advances an interpretation of justice grounded in a distinctive theory of property. Christmas’ account of property is at the same time pluralistic - it justifies various forms of property of external objects - and grounded in one original natural right: the right to freedom. Indeed, one main take-away of the book is that freedom as (a claim to) non-interference does not only justify private property: it can also justify common property. |
