In the history of the development of human society there is an evolutionary change in property and its forms. First, such forms of ownership appeared in the economy as personal, family, and state. Under capitalism, private property began to develop , and during its further evolution joint-stock property appeared , and state property acquired special importance.
Currently, there are two main forms of ownership in a market economy: public and private. Public property consists in the joint appropriation of the means of production and its results. All its members have equal rights in relation to this property. True, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the right to use property, as a rule, is vested in government bodies. This is done in order to avoid various conflicts between members. If we talk about private property, then in it the means and results of production are assigned to individuals, owners of these funds. For example, it may be the property of a family, work collective, or individual citizen. The objects of a private form of ownership in the economy can be buildings, enterprises, land, housing, as well as various securities - stocks, bonds, cash. Private property provides an opportunity for everyone to open their own business. It is also the basis of a modern market economy.
If you delve into the study of property, you can see many other types and forms that stand out depending on who the subject of ownership is.
ยท State property - is a public property, therefore, it means sharing, ownership and disposal. True, only a state body can dispose of this type of property. Its structure distinguishes such economic forms of ownership as federal (these are all objects belonging to the population of the country) and state property of the subjects of the federation (this includes the cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow, regions, territories, republics, autonomous regions).
ยท Municipal (urban) property - includes such forms of ownership in the economy as the municipal itself (roads, banks, housing, transport located in the city), district (housing, baths, shops, transport, hospitals, schools of the district) and settlement property (bridge, land, school, housing). City property is public, therefore it is inherent in appropriation and use, but the price is paid by the mayor's office and state bodies.
ยท A private type of property consists of individual private, collective, family, joint-stock, intellectual (owned by an individual person or group of people, created intellectually - video clip, model of clothing) and joint (for example, state and enterprise) property.
ยท The property of public organizations consists of the property of party organizations, church denominations and directly public organizations.
The nature of ownership determines the volume of consumption and the form of exchange of material goods. In other words, the owner may, at his discretion, make an exchange for other goods and products, partially or fully carry out their consumption. Those who do not have property at their disposal act as wage workers and receive wages for their labor.
Thus, forms of ownership in the economy determine the position of people, individual classes and groups in society, and also regulate their access to used economic resources and objects.
