Abstract

I offer two arguments for the claim that we should want to organise much more of our access to personal goods than we currently do through “decent” rental, rather than ownership, “The Community Argument” and “The Mitigation Argument.” The two arguments elaborate, in different ways, the claim that organising much more of our access to goods through decent rental helps us realise values and ends we have reason to want to realise. The paper also considers the plausibility of an important concern that might be raised against a proposal that individuals should increase the proportion of personal goods that they rent: that if this occurred, we would sacrifice important benefits associated with more widespread ownership.
