Lockean proviso

The term "Lockean proviso" was coined in 1974 by an American libertarian to describe an interpretation of John Locke's labor theory of property, which states that whilst individuals have a right to homestead private property from nature by working on it, they can do so only if "there was still enough, and as good left; and more than the yet unprovided could use".
