Natural Rights: Henry George and the Economic Fruits of a Good Society
Authors:James M Dawsey
Institution:Department of Religion, Emory & Henry College, Emory, VA
Abstract:This article examines Henry George's understanding of how natural rights grow out of a just society. His views were influenced by the 17th‐century proponents of natural rights, but cannot be subsumed under them. The connection of freedom to obligation affirmed by George's classical Protestantism allowed him to overcome tension between theories of natural law and natural rights. Rights and responsibilities were not abstractions for George. His practical solution for restructuring society offers a modern path to a more just society in which rights would abound.
