The way that property is defined is a matter of human passed laws, not some natural function of the universe. True, but that doesn't mean that some human designed systems aren't more natural and others more contrived. Sort of like "form follows function" in furniture. If you were starting from scratch, knowing everything that we know now, you'd still come up with wages for labor and rents, interest, dividends, and capital gains for investments. That's because they flow naturally from the things that humans do. Paying dividends to employees is not natural.
