Ownership of draught cattle is an important qualitative indicator of property size.
This largely determined the maximum of ten hectares (arable equivalent) and ensured that only symbolic holdings would be given to farm workers lacking ownership claims.
Because they cannot claim real property on their findings, they may attach their names to them as a gesture of symbolic ownership for their work.
Another interesting example is transitive ownership and control of corporations.
As a result of this complicated history, there were three types of private ownership of lighthouses.
But so is another assumption, that the ownership involved must be understood in terms of property.
Managers usually design and oversee these roles and responsibilities in corporate organisations, multinational corporations and state-owned enterprises, where ownership is separated from control.
It is only with the transition to corporate capitalism that we see a full separation of management and ownership.
