Good luck changing international relations while people in developing worlds wait for their respective governments to work things out.
Property is a human right, whether the state allows it or not. If I have $1, I should be allowed to transfer it to whomever I want, otherwise I don't really own it. If a state says I can't transfer it to my relative in [bad country], then I see that as unjust and I will go around the system. If some government forbids its people to hold a certain denomination of currency, that's unjust as well and I will go around that system.
- AlexandrB 5y agoThis is a ridiculously narrow conception of rights that ignores how your property rights interact with those around you. If you transfer your $1 to a slaver (extreme example) for his goods or services, your property rights directly undermine the rights of others. Your property rights end where the rights of others begin.
- SantalBlush 5y ago>If I have $1, I should be allowed to transfer it to whomever I want, otherwise I don't really own it. This argument requires further justification. I really don't see how spending constraints would imply you don't "really" own your dollar.
