Description

Professor David Owens (King's College London)

Property and Authority

On one view, the function of a property right is to serve the owner's interest in exercising control over things around them. I develop this view of property, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. I then suggest that human beings also have an interest in controlling their rights and obligations and that the function of property rights may be to serve that authority interest.
