What is property, and why does our species happen to have it? In The Property Species, the economist Bart Wilson explores how we acquire, perceive, and know the custom of property, and why this might be relevant to social scientists, philosophers, and legal scholars for understanding how property works in the twenty-first century.
Bart Kennedy, the British “tramp” who captivated readers in the early 20th century with his tales of itinerant adventures, wrote over twenty books chronicling the details of these travels. A Tramp’s Philosophy was published in 1908, and is a compendium of reflections, musings, and occasionally harsh commentary on the state of the world at that time. Mr. Kennedy’s experiences as an “anti-labor traveller” give an unusual perspective of the politics and social concerns of the 1900s. Feral House is delighted to make available this most rare and sought-after of Bart Kennedy’s works.
