The article “Life, Liberty, and ..: Jefferson on Property Rights” by Marco Bassani, in the latest issue of the Journal of Libertarian Studies, is absolutely fantastic. Articles like this make the JLS well worth reading. This article is bound to be a classic; Bassani is a master of his material; a superb writer; and powerfully backs up his contentions.
It joins my list of all-time favorite articles, which includes many by Hoppe, such as “Murray N. Rothbard and the Ethics of Liberty,” “Banking, Nation States and International Politics,” “How is Fiat Money Possible?-or, The Devolution of Money and Credit,” “In Defense of Extreme Rationalism,” and “On Certainty and Uncertainty, Or: How Rational Can Our Expectations Be?”; and others (that would only interest international lawyers) such as The Importance of “Nutshells” and From Concessions to Service Contracts.
