Mine! : how the hidden rules of ownership control our lives / Michael Heller & James Salzman. by Heller, Michael, 1962- Doubleday, 2021. Call #: 346.73043 H477m Subjects Property -- United States. ISBN:  9780385544726 (hc.) Alternate title:  How the hidden rules of ownership control our lives Edition:  1st ed. Description:  322 p. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-307) and index. Summary:  "In this eye-opening exploration of who owns what and why, two acclaimed experts [a Lawrence A. Wien professor of Real Estate Law at Columbia Law School and a a Distinguished professor of Environmental Law, with joint appointments at the UCLA School of Law and UCSB Bren School of the Environment ] uncover the hidden rules of ownership that control our lives. 'Mine' is one of the first words babies learn. By the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you reclining or the squished laptop user behind? Why is plagiarism wrong, but it's okay to knock-off a recipe or a dress design? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, but in New York you lose the space and the chair? In 'Mine!' Michael Heller & James Salzman, two of the world's leading authorities on ownership, explain these puzzles and many more. Remarkably, there are just six simple rules that everyone uses to claim everything. Owners choose the story that steers us to do what they want. But we can pick a different rule. This is true not just for airplane seats, but also for battles over digital privacy, climate change, and wealth inequality. Ownership is always up for grabs. 'Mine' draws on mind-bending, often infuriating, and always fascinating accounts from business, history, courtrooms, and everyday life to reveal how the rules of ownership shape our world."--Jacket.
