Description

Property and the Pursuit of Happiness presents an account of the crucial role the right to property understood in the comprehensive sense as the right that included every other right played in the American founding.

This right was understood by the founders as the "pursuit of happiness," which Edward J.

Erler argues was considered to be both a natural right and a moral obligation.

This book examines the works of John Locke, the English philosopher who had a profound influence on the American founding.
