Chapter 6 of 19 · The Natural and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted by Thomas Hodgskin
LETTER THE THIRD. THE LEGAL RIGHT OF PROPERTY.
What is the law?—Who are the law makers?—The law is a great scheme of rules intended to preserve the power of government, secure the wealth of the landowner, the priest, and the capitalist, but never to secure his produce to the labourer.—The law-maker is never a labourer, and has no natural right to any wealth.—He takes no notice of the natural right of property.—Manifold miseries which result from his appropriating the produce of labour, and from the legal right of property being in opposition to the natural.
