Is it time to sell the moon?

"As nations and even private companies prepare to return humans to the moon on a grand scale, the question of how commercial activities can be managed on the lunar surface has become more crucial. One attempt to clarify that question has been published by free-market think tank, the Adam Smith Institute. The proposal, called Space Invaders: Property Rights on the Moon, is an attempt to facilitate private ownership of land on the moon. The paper suggests that private property ownership of parcels of the lunar surface will create wealth on Earth and even alleviate poverty."
