The principles embraced by Mortimer Adler and very much the principles embraced by two other remarkable thinkers: Thomas Paine and Henry George. The phrase that best describes these principles is "cooperative individualism." The quest is to come to socio-political arrangements and institutions that achieve the just balance between rights to property and human rights. The one issue Adler does not address in this interview (or in his writings, generally) is whether nature is appropriately treated as private property or ought to be treated as our collective commons. Paine and George followed the lead of Adam Smith and A.R. Jacques Turgot by arguing that access to nature is a human right. However, because locations around the globe have very different potentials to produce goods, access should be awarded by competitive bidding and payment of an annual rent to the community. The rent payment would be periodically adjusted as current bidding indicated rental values had increased or decreased.

Adler had these valid concerns so many decades ago!
