Thanks for the summary.
Thought experiment for readers, supposed humans magically appear on planet earth when no humans existed before, how would they go about utilizing the land in a manner that is peaceful, sustainable and fair?
A simpler version of this thought experiment would be: Given some land (say 100 acres) how would 2 people go about utilizing the land in a manner that is peaceful, sustainable, least impactful to the environment, fair, protects individual ownership, simple etc. Assume that no government or laws exists. If one can chip away at this problem, I think one will have the solution to most problems created by (but not limited to):
1)Absurdities of law.
2)Property taxes
3)Property ownership
4)Inheritance ( let say later these 2 people have 3 kids)
5)Socialism/capitalism ( these definitions vary depending on who you ask)
6)Zoning issues.
7)Common property.( roads, rivers)
8)Food production and distribution.
9) Etc...( covers innumerable other things, so Tolstoy was right in my opinion - land ownership is the root of most of the economic evil )
