Forty Acres and a Mule? Implications of the Duty to Respect Personal Independence

Karl Widerquist

Chapter Chapter 3 in Independence, Propertylessness, and Basic Income, 2013, pp 51-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Respect for ECSO freedom implies limits on how people can go about building community and on the powers government and private individuals can assert over individuals and resources, but it does not conflict with the desire to build a community or a government. The challenge of indepentarianism is to build a community in an area while respecting the personal independence of everyone who happens to be stuck together in the area. This chapter discusses a few of the implications that follow from the respect for ECSO freedom.
