Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives

Honestly, super intriguing perspective of the perspectives from academia; would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is interedted in “ownership” as a dimmer swtich type beat.Gives an honest and humorous account grasp of a distiguished professional. A good read for internationals, who’ll prolly need to get cultured herei the states

Men den var ganska tråkig. Borde vara hälften så lång.

Besides some really interesting examples, the rest of the book is quite boring.

Not as ground breaking as the reviews suggested. Sets out the issues clearly for the neophyte. But as lawyers looks at how it is much more than how you might get to what it should be. Not a freakajurisprudence.

This book is a lot like learning the high-level themes of Professor Heller's 1L property class without having to read all of the cases (it even covers the Rule Against Perpetuities). That is to say, it's entertaining and eye-opening.Most of us think in binary terms about ownership: I own this or I don't, and there's a "right" answer; if I own it, that means I have all the rights of ownership and can do whatever I want with it. Well, this book explains the jarring reality that those beliefs are rarely true. The book goes through tons of timely and interesting examples showing that rather than binary concepts, the fact of ownership depends on what narrative justifying ownership we favor, and the rights of ownership operate along a gradient rather than an all-or-nothing approach.The last chapter sets out a short but really fascinating speculation as to what might happen as "ownership" digitizes and converges into fewer and fewer hands (think: what if Disney+ creates new versions of Star Wars every year and erases everything else from the historical record).Definitely a recommend---quick, easy, and fun read with lots to think about.
