Ownership and Justice

The institution of private property lies at the heart of contemporary Western societies. But what are the limits of property ownerships? Do principles of justice require some measure of governmental redistribution of property in order to relieve poverty or to promote greater equality among citizens? And what do principles of justice, whether egalitarian or libertarian, have to say about individuals' ownership of their own talents and the products of their labor, and about the initial acquisition of land and natural resources?
