| | Politics Portal · v·d·e | - This article is about the homestead principle as part of libertarian ethics. For the use of the homestead principle in positive law, see homestead principle.

The homestead principle is a theory of how a resource that is unowned becomes legitimate property. The principle states that any resource that has not been mixed with a person's labour, is not occupied, or has been abandoned is unowned. And, it may only become legitimate property if a person occupies it or transforms that unowned resource through labor. Appropriating a resource by any other method is considered unethical. In classical economics and all micro-economics labour is a measure of the work done by human beings and is one of three factors of production, the others being land and capital. ...
// Use of the term In common usage, property means ones own thing and refers to the relationship between individuals and the objects which they see as being their own to dispense with as they see fit. ...
There is not a requirement that a resource be in continual use to be property but simply that it has been transformed through labor. Since property entails a right of the owner to transfer ownership to someone else, the homestead principle does not require that a purchaser or giftee mix his labor with the land in order to own it.
It is usually claimed that this is an a a priori natural right, though it may also be justified on consequentialist grounds. A priori is a Latin phrase meaning from the former or less literally before experience. In much of the modern Western tradition, the term a priori is considered to mean propositional knowledge that can be had without, or prior to, experience. ...
Consequentialism is the belief that what ultimately matters in evaluating actions or policies of action are the consequences that result from choosing one action or policy rather than the alternative. ...
Together with the principle of self-ownership, the homestead principle forms the basis of libertarian philosophy. The homestead principle is seen by libertarians as consistent with their opposition to initiatory coercion, since only land that is unowned can be taken. If something is unowned, there is no one the original appropriator is initiating coercion against. And, they do not think mere claim creates ownership. Self-ownership is the condition where an individual has the exclusive moral or legal right to control his or her own body and life. ...
Murray Rothbard says: "All existing property titles may be considered just under the homestead principle, provided (a) that there may never be any property in people; (b) that the existing property owner did not himself steal the property; and particularly (c) that any identifiable owner (the original victim of theft or his heir) must be accorded his property" (in Justice and Property Rights)
