Appendix: Four Critical Replies

I. DEMONSTRATED PREFERENCE AND PRIVATE PROPERTY 1

Professor Osterfeld, after generously acknowledging the “pathbreaking” nature of my a priori defense of the ethics of private property, concentrates on four objections to my arguments.

I will comment on all four objections that Professor Osterfeld addresses. However, since they depend on a correct understanding of my central argument and its logical force, I will first restate my case in the briefest possible way.
