Exploring the Idea of Private Property: A Small Step Along the Road from Common Sense to Theory

Abstract

I had the privilege of studying with Phil McShane in 1979-80, when he was Visiting Fellow at Lonergan University College, Concordia University, Montréal. If I were to choose two points of focus from Phil’s work that have stayed with me through the years following, they would be: stick with the method, and be content with beginnings.
