Land ownership makes total sense, the article is like an apology of utopian socialism. The main issue with those approaches (socialist variants, communism) vs something like capitalism is that they are not robust. Capitalism assumes ill-intentions (i.e. everyone for themselves trying to maximize wellbeing) and creates a distribution mechanism that is robust in the presence of bad actors while still allowing altruism. Utopian socialism and it's variants assume everyone is perfectly altruistic, which makes it extremely fragile. So a single bad actor can abuse the system in detriment of everyone else. Ownership is such a basic instinct (i.e. protecting your resources) that it's biological in nature and I doubt you can successfully thwart it. |
