 “Small
Business and Private Property Rights” - By Raymond J.
Keating, Chief Economist, Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Council, Washington, D.C. and Columnist, Newsday, Long
Island, New York; Eleventh Annual National Conference on Private
Property Rights (PRFA, Albany, N.Y., October 13, 2007)
Local zoning often is a tool of special interests to force
small businesses to give up. Government uses its power of eminent
domain for economic development for well-financed entities at
the expense of small business. During the past 100 years, government
has lost respect for private property owners when developing
sports stadiums, which used to fit around private property. In
addition, it should be more recognized that intellectual private
property rights protect the interests of small businesses, not
just “big pharma.”

Private Property Rights Under International Assault”
- By Lawrence A. Kogan, Esq., Institute for Trade, Standards
and Sustainable Development, Presented at the Tenth Annual National
Conference on Private Property Rights, Albany, New York, October
14, 2006, sponsored by the Property Rights Foundation of America
Left-leaning foreign governments, activists and academics
are waging a campaign against the American free market, private
property, and science and economics-based regulatory systems.
The non-scientific Precautionary Principle, which has assumed
regulatory status in Europe, means banning whole classes of products,
substances and activities from entering the marketplace if it
is merely possible, absent any scientific risk analysis, that
they or the processes used for their manufacture might cause
uncertain health or environmental harm sometime in the future.
