Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Past and Future of Private Property, Bernd Riemann reexamines the history of civilization through a single, provocative lens: the evolution of ownership. Spanning more than 12,000 years of human development, this book traces the extraordinary transformation of property from its origins i…n the first agricultural settlements to its modern manifestations in intellectual property, financial instruments, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence. Along the way, it reveals a striking pattern. As societies became more complex, property became increasingly abstract, extending its reach from land and physical goods into labor, ideas, information, behavior, and data.Property is an evolving technology of power, not a static institution, representing a continuous process through which humanity has redefined ownership and exclusion across history. From feudal estates to digital economies, this evolution marks a connected shift in who possesses the authority to restrict access.Drawing from history, law, economics, political theory, anthropology, and philosophy, this work challenges many of the assumptions that surround ownership in the modern world. It explores how property became the foundation of states and markets, how legal systems transformed social agreements into enforceable rights, and how successive waves of innovation created entirely new categories of wealth. At the same time, it examines the tensions and contradictions that accompanied this expansion, revealing how every extension of property rights generated new forms of concentration, dependency, and social conflict.The book follows the movement of ownership across history's major frontiers. It begins with land, the original source of wealth and authority in agricultural societies. It then examines the ownership of labor and the emergence of slavery as one of history's most consequential property systems. From there, it traces the development of commercial and industrial property, the rise of corporations, the invention of intellectual property, and the increasingly complex financial structures that came to dominate modern economies. Finally, it turns toward the newest frontiers of ownership: digital assets, personal data, algorithmic systems, and the growing commodification of information itself.At the heart of this narrative lies a fundamental argument. Property is not merely a collection of legal rights attached to things. It is a social mechanism for organizing power. Throughout history, ownership has served as a means of projecting control across space, time, and human relationships. Whether embodied in a plot of land, a factory, a patent, a stock certificate, or a dataset, property has consistently functioned as a tool through which societies allocate authority and define the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion.As the twenty-first century unfolds, this historical trajectory raises urgent questions. What happens when economic value increasingly resides in assets that can be copied infinitely, reproduced instantly, or generated by machines? How can traditional systems of ownership govern resources that derive their value from participation rather than scarcity? Can institutions built to manage physical property adapt to a world dominated by information, networks, and artificial intelligence?Past and Future of Private Property connects ancient enclosures to modern digital infrastructure to reveal the hidden continuity of how humanity has transformed resources into power over thousands of years. As ownership becomes increasingly abstract and detached from physical reality, the book posits that the future of property is approaching a turning point that could define the future of civilization.
