ABSTRACT
Property concerns things needed for human life. At the most elemental level, property gives us a place to be: a place to work. It gives us the means to thrive: food to eat, clothing to wear. It gives us things that make life enjoyable, meaningful, and fun. But property does not only provide our material needs. It enables us to exercise autonomy, to enjoy our liberties, to shape our destiny, to form relationships with others, to live a human life. We cannot live our lives without the means to do so.1
