In this physical world, human beings are simultaneously concerned and preoccupied with both consumption and production.

This means that in the physical world, man is constantly concerned and affected not only by those physical properties of the world on which he depends and in which he lives, but he must also be concerned with his relationships with other human beings.

In short, men and women of all philosophies, creeds, colors, and nationalities are concerned with property, whether they view property principally with the eyes and perspective of a consumer, or that of a producer.

Often, whenever writers and demagogues seek to analyze the nature of or the meaning of property, they tend to oversimplify. 

They construe “property”, or the item to be owned, as somehow being the same thing as “ownership”, which is the act of owning or the relationship to property called owning.

It should be made clear that a property (the item to be owned) is not at all the same thing as the act of owning, or the relationship to an item established by owning.
