Thomas Piketty and the Natural Rights Argument for Equality
Palabras clave:
igualdad, derechos de propiedad, Thomas Piketty, Jean Barbeyrac, John LockeResumen
El trabajo de Thomas Piketty ha elevado la igualdad al primer plano de los debates políticos. Este ensayo apoya el proyecto de Piketty proponiendo una base teórica para sus ideas en la teoría de los derechos naturales. Se remonta brevemente a la teoría francesa de los derechos a través de las figuras de la Ilustración hasta el teórico francés Jean Barbeyrac, un joven contemporáneo y seguidor del filósofo político John Locke. A continuación, el ensayo explica la teoría de Locke para mostrar cómo éste, y por extensión Barbeyrac, consideraban que los derechos de propiedad no eran privados y exclusivos, sino comunes e inclusivos, sujetos a limitaciones igualitarias y obligaciones sociales, lo que sustenta los argumentos de Piketty en favor de la igualdad.
