Propertarianism, or Proprietarianism, is a political philosophy which reduces ethics to the right of private property[1]. It's an advocator of property, largely related to Neo-Lockean homestead principle, which states that the only ways property can be legitimately obtained is through applying your labor to unowned land or to trade it or being gifted it by the previous owner, although it chooses to reject the Lockean proviso, which states that it is only applicable when there is enough and of same quality for everybody else.

It is closely related to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationRight-Libertarianism because of its similar advocacy for the right to private property.

In his words he also lists Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationAyn Rand as a Radical Capitalist and the closest to that term that he could think of.[3]

Then, Propertarian was used by Marcus Cunliffe as a characteristic of American history as a whole[4] and then by David Boaz as the main moral and institutionally/legally ensured the creation of privacy rights[5].

Then, Brian Doherty, regards Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationMurray Rothbard styled Libertarianism as a Propertarianist due to his "reduction" of human rights to the right of property, starting with the natural right to self-ownership.[6]
