"Whoever makes something having bought or contracted for……" — Robert Nozick
"Whoever makes something having bought or contracted for all other held resources used in the process (transferring some of his holdings for these cooperating factors), is entitled to it. The situation is not one of somethings getting made, and there being an open question of who is to get it. Things come into the world already attached to people having entitlements over them."
