Private Property: Between Privilege and Freedom
No. 7 SEPTEMBER 2010
In Western culture, the institution that we call ""private property” is one of the most constant features of the individual’s position in terms of society and political power and of the coordination between them. However, this same institution has given rise to the most diverse and opposite reactions throughout history. One author, the socialist philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), even managed to assert that ""property is theft” and that ""property is freedom” at the same time. The persistence to this day of very different reactions caused by private property is proof of the need to understand this institution and to take a stand on it as a condition of understanding the society we live in.
