Bart J. Wilson joins the show to talk about how the concept of property is unique to humans.

## Shownotes:

Bart J. Wilson explores how humans acquire, perceive, and know the custom of property, and why this might be relevant to understanding how property works in the twenty-first century.

What is experimental economics? How does property work? What chaos ensues when property rights do not exist?
