This new approach to ownership also places egalitarian principles of distributive justice in a new light and challenges critics to clarify aspects of property ownership worth protecting against calls for greater equality. The book closes by showing how defenders of egalitarianism can make use of some of the ideas and values that traditionally made private property appear to be such a pervasive human institution.
The first book-length study to focus directly on the variable and complex structure of ownership, The Myth of Property critically analyzes what it means to own something, taking on familiar debates about distributive justice and recasting them into discussions of the structure of ownership.
