Abstract: There is nothing which so generally strikes the imagination, and engages the affections of mankind, as the right of property.Blackstone'In our time property is the root of all evil and of the suffering of men who possess it, or are without it, and of all the remorse of conscience of those who misuse it, and of the danger of collision between those who have [it] and those who have it not.Property is the root of all evil: and, at the same time, property is that toward [which] all the activity of our modern world is directed, and that which directs the activity of the world.
