Thanks for the good reply. Still absorbing the Hoppe stuff but had one comment about your second post.
This is fine, but I feel we still need to distinguish the “type” of end. Once the end arrives, it can still be either material or not.
“I sought and then found food.” -vs- “I sought and then found a good story on which to base my screenplay.”
This seems important to the IP issue. Maybe I am combining a property-rights issue with a scarcity issue, but they seem intrinsically linked in the current debate.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Rothbard say something along these lines in support of IP?
