6 At this point, it seems likely that Silver would protest that this is not what Nozick says. Indeed, it is not; but Nozick is a philosopher, not a prophet, and one can accept his principles without uncritically accepting his inferences. I believe that Nozick is wrong about what our labour gets us in terms of property.
