How Unexamined Premises Lead to World Oppression: John Locke, The Theory of Private Property and Money. The Iconoclast.
McMurtry, John
Canadian Social Studies, v31 n3 p114-15 Spr 1997
Criticizes some of the basic principles expounded in John Locke's "Second Treatise on Government." Argues that Locke's ideas on private property, capital investment, and social good are inherently contradictory. Asserts that the market theory of property inevitably leads to endemic economic exploitation and oppression. (MJP)
