"What Surfing Can Teach You about Ownership" by @LearnLiberty► Get Learn Liberty updates in your inbox!http://LearnLiberty.org/subscribeWhat can surfing teach you about ownership?Imagine you're out surfing with some friends. You don't want to be too selfish and be seen as hogging the waves. If you don't establish a system of ownership over the waves, you and your friends may watch a lot of good waves pass you by. Alternatively, one of your friends or another surfer at the beach might push and shove and take all of the best waves. Either way, this is not a recipe for a good time surfing. What's necessary—and usually employed by surfers—is a system of property rights over the waves. Prof. Dan Russell explains how ownership and selfishness are not the same. He shows that ownership provides a number of positive benefits to society, including allowing for conservation and protecting the most vulnerable people in society. Prof. Russell says, "If we care about fairness for everyone, we have to care about ownership." This is true in surfing and in our daily lives.Watch more videos on Ownership with Prof. Russell: http://bit.ly/19AFY2B► Like us on Facebook! http://facebook.com/LearnLiberty► Follow us on Twitter! http://twitter.com/LearnLiberty► Follow us again on Google+! http://bit.ly/1awJyiL► Watch more videos: http://LearnLiberty.org
