Shelly Simana, ‘Relational Self-Ownership: The Case for Genetic Reciprocity’
ABSTRACT Self-ownership-the idea that individuals own their bodies and what comes from them-has profoundly shaped moral and legal understandings of personal rights. Often framed in absolute terms, self-ownership is assumed to confer exclusive control. However, bodies and the resources they generate connect individuals to others in ways that create claims, dependencies, and responsibilities that cannot […]
Mitchell Crusto, ‘What is Property?: A Libertarian Perspective of Name, Image, and Likeness’
ABSTRACT Intercollegiate college sports are rapidly changing, reflecting a new legal paradigm. Pursuant to this paradigm, college athletes are now allowed to monetize the commercial value of their names, images, and likenesses, commonly referred to as NIL.

Przemysław Pałka, ‘Problems of Technological Management: On Automated Extraction of Mental Goods’
ABSTRACT This chapter challenges the conventional wisdom of how users of social media platforms like Instagram, X, or TikTok pay for service access. It argues that rather than merely exchanging data for services, users unknowingly barter their attention, emotions, and cognitive resources-mental goods that corporations exploit through technologically managed systems like targeted advertising and habit-forming […]
