Billy Christmas: property and justice. A liberal theory of Natural Rights. New York: Routledge, 2021. E-Book (ISBN: 978-0-429-29725-0), € 29.70. 184 pp.

AbstractIn this book Billy Christmas advances an interpretation of justice grounded in a distinctive theory of property. Christmas ’ account of property is at the same time pluralistic – it justifies various forms of property of external objects – and grounded in one original natural right: the right to freedom. Indeed, one main take-away of the book is that freedom as (a claim to) non-interference does not only justify p rivate property: it can also justify common property.
