NOTE

The Impact of Theft and Coercion on Human Productivity

The abolition of private property is seen as the wrong approach to addressing productivity issues. What is needed is the perfection of private property to encourage individuals to benefit fully from the products of their labor. Theft and coercion not only result in a direct decrement to human productivity by taking away time from production, but they also disincentivize producers from working to their full potential.
