The great blessing of private property, then, is that people can benefit from their own industry and insulate themselves from the negative effects of others' actions. It is like a set of invisible mirrors that surround individuals, households or firms, reflecting back on them the consequences of their acts.

They receive their due, which is to say they experience justice as a matter of routine.
-- Tom Bethell
