Dressed in 18th century antique prose, but he was scoffing at the idea of &quot;intellectual property&quot;<p>Another interesting quote: &gt; Stable ownership is the gift of social law<p>This goes directly against the idea of &quot;God given rights&quot;. Privaye property is an aspect of social law, you heard it from a Founding Father.
