It basically comes down to the author's statement that one accepts that
only physical things can be property or one does not understand economics.
Then to top it off the author quotes an extremely simplistic definition of
property as a proof.
What is considered tradable and protected property is highly dependent on a
societies' values. Anything can be tradable property as long as a society
deems it so.
Wikipedia has a lot of good information on the subject including summaries
of the various philosophies involved.
