A Faithful Interpretation of Suarez?



How do we get from point A (resources given by God for the benefit of all) to point Z (after being allocated and being the matter of productive labor, what is produced is nevertheless still a "common good" that can be distributed by whoever holds political authority)?

I am doubting that the distinction resulting from the mendicant controversies between ownership and use would be that helpful, though it is the case that later scholastics applied it.
