Land ownership and the concept of figures Sep 19, '07 3:39 AM
for everyone

For those who take it for granted that the land they live belong to no one, it would not be acceptable for them the idea of land ownership.

They would have gladly accept three thalers in exchange for the land they live and see in front of them. For them three means simply a lot and the land means just nothing.

They didn't expect themselves to be expelled from the land after exchange was made.
