Problematic objects of property
Town, Nature, Knowledge
What then was this feeling? For of a truth it was too foul: and woe was me, who had it. But yet what was it? Who can understand his errors?

Project Area Systems of Ownership
Systems of ownership and alternative social principles of order
The public, the private, the communal
