    I don’t think having a right to something removes that it might also have a market value, it just puts constraints on that market value and the ability to access it. Often but not always mediated by welfare payments, pensions, or government coupon rates.

      Indeed.

      Food for the vast majority of the world is a human right, but it has market value.

      Shelter likewise is also a human right, but that also obviously holds market value.
