Republicanism on Property - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 169 Property/Republicanism/Dagger: bending the law to their will. Republicans, including Rousseau, have typically endorsed private ownership of property because they see in it a means of fostering independence. They have been less interested in an equal opportunity to become rich, however, than in equal protection under the law and equal opportunities to participate in public life. That is why they have sometimes called for limits on the accumulation of wealth, as James Harrington did in Oceana when he advocated an 'agrarian' law 'fixing the balance in lands' (1992(1): 13). (For similar views in contemporary republicanism, see Sandel, 1996(2): 329-33 and Pettit, 1997(3): 135.) It also explains Mary Wollstonecraft's complaint that the inferior status of women often compels them to eat 'the bitter bread of dependence' (1985(3): 158). >Republianism. 1.
