“My basic approach is to recognize that mainstream legal theories of contract have been muddied by unlibertarian and positivistic conceptions of law and rights. Questions about what rights are "alienable" or not, loose talk about how promises should be "binding," etc., highlight the need for clarity in this area. In my view, to sort these issues out one needs a very clear and consistent understanding of the nature of property rights and ownership.” NeedsShouldHas BeensLawUnderstandingViewsIssuesClearRightsTheoryPromiseApproachAreasPropertyClarityConsistentEtcConceptionContractsMainstreamOwnershipProperty RightsBindingHighlights Author:Stephan Kinsella
“The Austrian theory of subjective value teaches us that there are many ways to incentivize or motivate or induce someone to commit an action for you: you can promise sexual favors, promise to pay money, hire someone, and so on. Also, there is no reason to think that both the boss and his underling cannot both be 100% responsible: in the law this is called joint and several liability.” ThinkingWayReasonActionLawValuesPayTeachTheoryPromiseResponsibleFavorsCommitNo ReasonBossSubjectiveJointsLiability Author:Stephan Kinsella
