Restoring the Commons: Toward a New Interpretation of Locke’s Theory of Property
重新解读洛克财产理论，指出其不仅支持自由放任，还包含对个人权利的限制，要求代内和代际的充足性与可持续性，对理解环境规制有启示。
<i>John Locke’s theory of property, described in his</i> Second Treatise on Civil Government, <i>exerts a strong but often unacknowledged influence on environmental economics, providing justification for many of our discipline’s norms and practices. This paper examines how Locke’s Enlightenment-era thesis has informed our understanding of the relation of the individual and the state to environmental amenities. While Locke has been used to justify a libertarian view that treats any form of environmental regulation as a “taking,” elements of Locke’s original argument can be understood to subject individual rights claims to constraints requiring intra- and intergenerational sufficiency and sustainability.</i>
