It reminds me of what Ivan Illich (sp?) pointed out about over adoption of any specific technology. That we&#x27;ll keep using it to such excess even if it harms us. I think if we use that truism as a guide on social norms with regard to economics then I think we&#x27;ve adopted the concept of private ownership to such excess that it harms the process of private ownership itself. I think it&#x27;s time to go back towards a Lockean approach to the problem (if your actions harm others in their pursuits in common then it should be curtailed to ensure equal opportunity for all).
