This paper introduces a theory of ownership that is rooted in Israel Kirzner’s theory of entrepreneurship – The Entrepreneurial Theory of Ownership. Its central idea is that natural resources are not available to us automatically as other approaches to justice implicitly assume. Before we can use a resource, we need to do preparatory work in the form of making an entrepreneurial judgement on it. This fact, as I argue, makes it possible to put private ownership as a natural right on a firm normative ground and answer many traditional challenges to private property.

企业家的所有权理论

本文介绍了植根于伊斯雷尔·柯兹纳的创业理论的所有权理论——企业家所有权理论。它的中心思想是，我们不能像其他正义方法隐含地假设的那样自动获得自然资源。在我们使用资源之前，我们需要做一些准备工作，即对其进行创业判断。正如我所说，这一事实使得将私有制作为一项自然权利置于坚实的规范基础上成为可能，并回答了对私有财产的许多传统挑战。
