Land and raw materials are finite, are the creation of God, pre-date human claims to ownership, have a past history as free goods, and are the possession of all mankind. These goods are both utilized and consumed. Once consumed, they are gone forever and are lost to future generations who have a legitimate claim to the goods by virtue of their humanity. Individual claims to ownership of land and raw materials are not appropriate and should be preempted by social claims to ownership. Human constructions on the land are clearly the creation of man and have no history as free goods, therefore, individual claims to ownership of human constructions homes, factories, highways are appropriate.
Human constructions are private property, but land and raw materials are social property.
The second category of goods is personal property, including tangible goods utilized or consumed to fulfill human needs and wants. These goods do not exist in nature, do not pre-date human claims to ownership, have no past history as free goods, and are the creation of man, not of God. This category of goods is both utilized and consumed, but, unlike land and raw materials, personal property can be replaced. Personal property is private property. The third category of goods are intellectual goods, including non-tangible goods and ideas utilized to fulfill human needs and wants.
