This appendix's wide-ranging list of books and dissertations and essays dealing with the labor theory of property has been distilled – at the pleasant but firm insistence of my publisher – from a much longer list of all the relevant secondary works that I have read. The first of the three main sections of this appendix contains my citations to writings that have criticized the labor theory of property on philosophical or analytical grounds (and sometimes also on political grounds, but not only on political grounds). The second and longest section contains my citations to works that have not sought to impugn the philosophical merits of the labor theory; some of those works, despite being predominantly uncritical or defensive in regard to the labor theory's argumentational soundness, have denounced the theory's political bearings. Finally, the third chief section contains my citations to writings that deal with topics very closely related to the labor theory.
