Property
Property in philosophy or theology is an attribute of something that does not consist of its essence, but follows from its essence.
Private property is a foundation of Anglo-American law, and central to capitalism and free enterprise.
Property is, and the Supreme Court has held, an extension of a person's labor. The value of a person's labor is stored up in property. Much labor is consumed in the process of labor, or disappears in the instant of its production. Property is unconsumed labor. Money is a representation of unconsumed labor for exchangeable purposes. "Real property" is land; manufactured goods, buildings, intellectual property, and tangible property is the produce of labor that is consumed slowly, or depreciates over time.
In modern times there is universal condemnation of treating human beings as property, though only abortion and stem cell research implicitly treat human life as though it were property.
In Thailand, foreigners are not allowed to own land.[1] This law is from long ago, and made because the King then wanted to keep culture how it was. Today, foreigners can own property by getting around law, like creating companies or owning land through a straw-man.
