Aquinas’ argument that private property is right (because it is beneficial for the common good) but not a right depends upon the Christian principle of the common good.  The reality of the problem of the Tragedy of the Commons demonstrates that the idea of the common good will not prevent people from acting in ways that support their own interests by destroying the common good.  Does the “common good” have any practical force in business and/or economic decisions or are all these decisions motivated purely by private interests?  In your answer be sure to explain how Aquinas uses the “common good” in his thought about private property and how the “common good” functions in the tragedy of the commons.  Also be sure to give a specific example to illustrate your answer on the practical force of the idea of the common good.

Be sure to demonstrate a knowledge of Aquinas’ and Hirschfeld’s arguments that include details from the texts not in our course notes.
