“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
“If a subject has a delicate surface to it, you do not want to go charging in there. You need to establish some kind of presence and understanding. I will say, Try to forget I'm here. I won't ask you to pose, I won't ask you to do anything. It's important that I just be allowed to be around, to be present. Photographing people requires a willingness to be rejected. So, I think the best approach is to be honest and direct. Very often, I tell them, You don't know me. There's no reason why you should trust me... the only thing I can promise is that I'll try to do the most honest work I can.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsShouldTryingKindI CanImportantReasonAsksUnderstandingForgetSubjectsHonestPromiseApproachDirectSurfaceBeing HonestReason WhyNo ReasonWillingnessDelicateKnow MeRejectedTrust MeChargingHonest WorkYou Don't Know Me Author:William Albert Allard
