Would somebody please give us semi-econs a brief remedial on this usage of "desert"? I'm getting a clue from context, but ... Lisa >>> Justin Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [snip] Or, if we are in a situation of differential ownership, this need not be unjust if it arose by fair takings (based on desert) from the common or unowned resources which also respected the Lockean proviso that a taker must leave enough and as good for others, to which you allude below. [snip] I suspect, though, that the intuition underlying the appeal of the labor theory of property may be desery based, that the reason I am supposed to own what I make is that I deserve it in virtue of having made it. Libs don't like this, however. --Justin
