| | Ownership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The advantage in placing the ownership of an asset in the name of an entity is that the asset is protected from law suits against the owner of the entity. | | | Ownership is open to anyone that has the money and inclination to buy shares in the company. | | | When there is risk involved in the ownership of an asset as in the case of investment real estate the ownership of that asset is often made in the name of a corporate entity. |

| | Public ownership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A government owned corporation (sometimes state-owned enterprise, SOE) may resemble a not-for-profit corporation as it may not be required to generate a profit; although governments may also use profitable entities they own to support the general budget. | | | Public ownership of profitable services may lead to "gold-plating" (over-investment in assets) if decisions are driven by engineering ideals and not efficiency concerns. | | | The process of bringing an asset into public ownership is called nationalization or municipalization. |

| | Property (ownership right) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Communism argues that only collective ownership through a polity, though not necessarily a state, will assure the minimization of unequal or unjust outcomes and the maximization of benefits, and that therefore all, or almost all, private property should be abolished. | | | Communal Property systems describe ownership as belonging to the entire social and political unit, while corporate systems describe ownership as being attached to an identifiable group with an identifiable responsible individual: generally a family. | | | The Roman property law was based on such a corporate system, for example. |

| | TomPaine.com - What Ownership Society? |
| | But you will hear about something Republicans are now calling the "Ownership Society." The notion is to expand private ownership through more tax cuts on capital investments, tax credits for saving and privatized Social Security. | | | The idea of an ownership society—where everyone has private retirement and investment accounts, rather than Social Security—is great, if you've got extra money to invest for your future. | | | Before they can join the "Ownership Society" they’ve got to pay their credit card bills, their rising variable-rate mortgages and their auto loans. |

| | The justification for the rules is that the effective functioning of a democracy requires a diverse ownership of the daily mass media to ensure that public life be reported in a fair and open manner. | | | These requirements are necessary to ensure the effective administration of the ownership and control provisions of the Act. | | | Since the election, the Government has indicated that the relaxation of cross-media and foreign ownership rules must be implemented together, or not at all. |

| | The Ownership Society and Employee Ownership |
| | The concept of employee ownership is growing not just because of taxes or worker approval, but also because it works. | | | Back in 1970, only a handful of American workers owned stock in their companies, but by 2002, a General Social Survey study reported that 39% of Americans working for companies that have (or share equity with anyone) equity actually owned stock in their employers and/or held options. | | | Conservatives, however, continue to speak glowingly about the rise in stock ownership by American workers without giving the concept of employee ownership, largely responsible for this shift, any due credit. |

| | National Practices in Employee Ownership |
| | When the movement is driven by a desire to privatize state enterprises, support for employee ownership comes out of right, as in the case of ESOT legislation enacted under Thatcher in the U.K., and as in employee ownership supported by democratic reformers in formerly communist countries. | | | The details and practice varied from state to state, but in general, the approach left employees and citizens with no asset ownership or ownership of assets with no value. | | | Without a legal or contractual requirement to hold their stock, some employees sell immediately, undermining the goal of spreading capital ownership, forfeiting the prospect of long-term gains and creating a crisis for their fellow employee-owners, who must raise cash to purchase shares or risk losing control of the company to outside investors. |

| | The thrust of his policies, foes assert, would be to place most of the tax burden on workers, not investors; to offload risk from corporations to individuals; and to undermine a social insurance system dating back to the New Deal. | | | So he is pushing health-care "ownership," trying to move toward individual insurance rather than employer-provided coverage -- all at a modest government price of less than $100 billion. | | | In New York, the President will take the wraps off a second-term domestic agenda built around the idea of an "Ownership Society" in which Americans would be empowered to save and invest more, playing a larger role in managing their own health care and retirement finances. |

If a traditional network provider owned an AFN in a particular area, that network provider, acting rationally, would charge customers a monopoly price, or restrict service to get its monopoly benefit. | | | But if the customer owned the network, then the customer could get the same access at a much lower price and be free of use restrictions. | | | They build the networks that the customer owns, and the customer escapes the burden of a monopolist network provider. |
