THE INCREMENTAL EXPANSION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE INCRE

THE INCREMENTAL EXPANSION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE INCREMENTAL SUPPRESSION OF PARASITISM

0 – Possession (self insurance at the limit of one’s abilities)

1 – Property by agreement (self insurance by in-group members)

2 – Property by norm (group insurance – non specialization in insurance by in-group members)

3 – Property by law (institutional insurance – specialization in insurance by in-group members)

4 – Property by military (universal institutional insurance against out-group members)

But since investment in insurance itself is unavoidably a form of property in toto, then the scale of the polity and the method of insurance determines whether the scope of property is limited to agreement, norm, law, and borders.

This is as it is and it cannot be otherwise.
