Episode notes

I think of locks work as much more within a political philosophy jurisprudential vein. I think on that question of racial value, it's rendered more barren, petty's work somehow. People tend to attribute to lock the this idea that improvement establishes a legitimate right to property. What do we miss when we look only at lock and not petty to explain this idea?

The centuries-long history of how dominant conceptions of private property were (and are) made alongside race and racial hierarchies in colonial encounters stretching from Ireland and British Columbia to Australia and Palestine.
