Of course it does. That's the definition of private property - if they claim to own it then you can't freely use it anymore. The creation of private property involves taking land that nobody owned and anybody could use, and using force to prevent anybody except the owner using it.
- dandare 12y agoWealth can be created, economy is not a zero sum game. Also you are confusing private property with land, 99% of wealth these days is created without the use of land.
- nwah1 12y agoLocations, the electromagnetic spectrum, minerals... these are all still very important, and all of these are land in an economics sense. If land isn't important anymore, I'll happily accept any donations of Silicon Valley land titles.
