Propertarianism is the advocacy of the private individual or corporate ownership of legal, transferable, Private Property titles within a Free Market . The term was coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her novel, '' The Dispossessed '' (1974). Some Libertarian Socialist s use the term to refer to Libertarian s who support Property Rights in order to distinguish them from their own non-propertarian form of libertarianism. Capitalist libertarians sometimes use this label for themselves, as seen, for instance, in the novel '' The Probability Broach '' (1980), by L. Neil Smith , where the fictionalized version of the Libertarian Party is called the Propertarian Party. Specifically, propertarianism recognizes all economically scarce goods as legitimate property. This includes " Natural Capital " such as land, but does not necessarily include non-scarce goods such as Intellectual Property (patents and copyrights.) This view is criticized by those that base property on production or use, such as Libertarian Socialists and Geolibertarians . Propertarianism can be "soft," asserting that private property is morally ''permissible,'' or it can be 'hard,' asserting that private property is the only valid form of property. SEE ALSO
