Locke’s perspective, grounded in natural rights and labour, views property as an extension of personal freedom and Marx critiques property as a social construct that is deeply rooted in historical materialism. This appears illustrates how each philosopher positions property within larger ethical and lassie economic contexts. The paper provides essential insights into current discussions regarding ownership, rights, and the ethical validity of economic frameworks. – Reproduced   aProperty, Private ownership, Labour, Natural rights.   aSocial Science in Perspective
