What is Private Property?

Written By Michael Shaw

Free enterprise seeks and achieves the objective of ecological health, as Liberty Garden also demonstrates. There, a former weed lot now supports a wild wonderland with a plethora of productive native plants, which in turn support an array of indigenous species.

What's good for the property owner who remains free to pursue his enlightened self-interest is also good for the earth.
