Does Sustainability Require A New Theory Of Property Rights?, Carl J. Circo Dec 2008

Does Sustainability Require A New Theory Of Property Rights?, Carl J. Circo

Carl J. Circo

By demanding stewardship of natural capital over exploitation, sustainability envisions a property regime less committed to individual property rights than are the traditional and economic theories of property. While the traditional property theories of Blackstone, Locke, and U.S. constitutional doctrine tolerate restrictions on private property rights for the sake of public welfare, they resist the strongest versions of sustainability, which promote generational and social justice. Similarly, an economic analysis of property recognizes the values of resource conservation and welfare for future generations, but only to the limited extent the economist can calculate future value.

The advantages of privatized property regimes and common property regimes have been debated in legal and economic discourse for ages. Although private property is prevalent in the developed world, a reading of the available anthropological literature shows that common property regimes still thrive in many parts of the developing world to maintain natural resources and to spread the risk of property ownership.
Considering the recent U.S. housing crisis and its global effect on world markets, perhaps the developed world should incorporate more communal theories to—what has now become the developed world‘s scarce resource—urban land. In fact, after a close look …
