  Question 175: Is anything wrong with private property?   
  [534] Zaskar: I understand from what Marx is saying about private property that it tends to control the individual, rather that the individual controlling the private property. I believe in a sense this is true. A person would not likely be willing to give up effort and sweat in the pursuit of personal property if it was not worth something to the individual. However, it is this worth that binds the owner to the protection of his property. It seems to be a difficult trade off that anyone interested in accumulating property must at some point address. This seems to me to be the problem with private property.   
  Hans: Excellent point! The force which chains people to their private property is also a force which motivates people to perform. Very good connection!
