Abstract: In this paper, first, I want to clarify the nature and function of private property. Second, I want to clarify the distinction between “common” goods and property and “public” goods and property, and explain the construction error inherent in the institution of public goods and property. Third, I want to explain the rationale and principle of privatization.
Francisco Capella interviews Hans-Hermann Hoppe in San Esteban Convent, Salamanca, Spain (Oct. 24, 2009). In this fascinating interview, Professor Hoppe explains how he became a Misesian and Rothbardian, and talks about his own contributions such as argumentation ethics (which Hoppe discusses in this video).
