| Abstract: | John Locke's labour theory of ownership is examined from an ecological perspective, and explores its role in western US property rights disputes. The labour theory of ownership describes how an individual, through application of labour, can justifiably acquire a private property right to the yield of commonly-held natural resources. The presence of ecosystem processes and services beneficial to humans, coupled with equity and no-harm principles, places limits on the extent to which strong labour-based rights can be justified. |
