Sprawiedliwość agrarna
Publikacjaprawiedliwość agrarna została napisana z intencją zreformowania stosunków społeczno-politycznych. Tekst opiera się na założeniu wywodzącym się z tradycji prawnonaturalnej, które brzmi, iż pierwotnie każdy był współwłaścicielem powierzchni Ziemi. Powstanie prywatnej własności ziemskiej (czyli, eo ipso, wywłaszczenie większości ludzi) należy zakwalifikować jako akt bezprawia, kumulujący się w historycznie nawarstwionych nierównościach...
