Removing the Commons examines the moral condition in which people can removethrough either use or appropriationnatural resources from the commons. This task begins with a robust defense of the view that natural resources initially belong to all people. Granting that natural resources initially belong to all people, it follows that all people have a claim that limits the way in which others may go about taking or removing natural resources from the commons. In assessing these limitations, Eric Roark argues for a Lockean leftlibertarian theory of justice in which all people have the right of selfownership and may only remove natural resources from the commons if they adhere to the Lockean Proviso by leaving enough and as good for others. Roarks account goes beyond existing treatments of the Lockean Proviso by insisting that the duty to leave enough and as good for others applies not merely to those who appropriate natural resources from the commons, but also to those who use natural resources within the commons. Removing the Commons defends a Georgist interpretation of the Lockean Proviso in which those who remove natural resources from the commons must pay the competitive rent of their removal in a fashion that best promotes equal opportunity for welfare. Finally, Roark gives extended consideration to the implications that the developed Lockean LeftLibertarian account of removing natural resources from the commons poses toward both global poverty and environmental degradation.
