Preferred term

private property  

Definition(s)

  • Private property rights in contemporary Europe and the Americas are rooted in ancient Roman law that recognized only the citizen patriarch as the subject of such rights and tangible goods, movable and immovable (especially land), as their objects. The standard private property rights recognized in this legal tradition are to control the use of the property, to benefit from the property, to transfer or sell the property, and to exclude others from the property.
