有一种错误的观点认为,分配、界定和保护财产权只是国家的工作,其实财产权远在国家存在之前就已经从习俗及传统中发展出来了。关于财产和自由,理查德·皮坡茨概述了自远古以来到国家出现之间的财产制度的演变,他说,“大多数的财产都是通过拥有的形式而不是法律文件最终获得的,这是传统公认的对物的所有权的依据。只是最近时间,财产开始由出现的国家来确认。” There is a fallacious view that it is only the work of the state to allocate, define and protect property rights. In fact, property rights have evolved far from the customs and traditions long before the nation existed. With regard to property and liberty, Richard Picketts outlines the evolution of the system of property that has existed since ancient times, and states that “most of the property is ultimately acquired through possession rather than legal documents , Which is traditionally recognized as the basis for ownership of property, except in the recent past, where property began to be recognized by the countries in which it appeared. ”
