One of the most important elements of Lockean legacy is the justification of property presented in Two Treatises on Government. That justification appears in the context of many contemporary theories, especially liberal and libertarian ones. This paper aims to show that Locke’s original theory cannot be simply used to justify the present relations of production which are based on wage labour and private ownership of the means of production. The problems which Locke’s limitations face in the context of capitalist economic system and the main objections to Lockean views on the origin of money have been presented to substantiate this claim. Next the author inquires if Lockean labour theory of property can be unified with the phenomenon of wage labour and private ownership of the means of production. The views of other authors are discussed, among them by Hannah Arendt, Robert Nozick, Murrey Rothbard, C.B. Macpherson, James Tully, Thomas Hodskin and Karl Marx.}, title={John Locke – Between Personal and Private Property}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134661/2024-01-PFIL-04.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2024.150954}, keywords={capitalist relations of production, T.
