Absolutely essential? Are you saying that it is impossible to produce
anything or trade anything unless all involved use the concept of
property rights? What if the people simply had enough respect for each
other that they didn't interfere with each other's production activities,
and what if they had enough respect for each other that they used the
principles of reciprocity? Is it absolutely essential that people
believe in the fictional concept of "property rights" in order to
interact productively and peacefully?
