Property rights are laws of man not laws of nature. The law of nature is that the strong take from the weak. To the extent property rights and other enacted laws create a permanent underclass of people who feel they were born into a raw deal then mismatched generational expectations will be the least of our problems. Expect serious turbulence in the decades to come. As Milton Friedman wisely said "the Earth belongs to the living".
