Property rights, public rights and a finite world There exists a reasonable scientific consensus that the Earth is a very finite system, with well-defined boundaries. Within this system, the air, the water, the soils, the landscape, and the biological organisms exist in very delicately balanced mutu al relationships.

This new adjustment usually manifests itself in the form of changed environmental and ecological conditions that may often be highly detrimental to the community at large. |
