| + | ==Description== |
| + | '''Ownership''' is the [[state]] or [[fact]] of exclusive rights and [[control]] over property, which may be an object, land/real estate or [[intellectual]] property. Ownership involves multiple rights, [[collectively]] referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. The [[concept]] of ownership has existed for thousands of years and in all [[cultures]]. Over the millennia, however, and across cultures what is considered eligible to be property and how that property is regarded culturally is very [[different]]. Ownership is the basis for many other [[concepts]] that form the [[foundations]] of ancient and modern [[societies]] such as [[money]], trade, debt, bankruptcy, the criminality of theft and [[private]] vs. [[public]] property. Ownership is the key building block in the development of the [[Capitalism|capitalist]] socio-[[economic]] [[system]]. |

| + | The [[process]] and [[mechanics]] of ownership are fairly [[complex]] since one can gain, transfer and lose ownership of property in a [[number]] of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with [[money]], trade it for other property, receive it as a gift, steal it, find it, make it or homestead it. One can transfer or lose ownership of property by selling it for [[money]], exchanging it for other property, giving it as a gift, being robbed of it, misplacing it, or having it stripped from one's ownership through [[legal]] means such as eviction, foreclosure and seizure. Ownership is self-propagating in that the owner of any property will also own the [[economic]] benefits of that property.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ownership] |
