De la coerción sobre la propiedad a la propiedad como coerción: una perspectiva historiográfica

Abstract

Today, the idea of property is virtually absent in history and economic theory. In economic analysis from J. M. Keynes to the «knowledge economy», privilege is granted almost exclusively to the company as the basic unit of the market and the economic life of humanity. The existence of property is virtually forgotten, because it is impossible without the existence of coercive power, which is its basis and guarantee. The idea of spontaneity in the market would be in contradiction with the existence of extra-economic mechanisms in the economic history of mankind. This is a historiographical essay on the relationship between political power, ownership, markets and society in the ancient world historians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In those centuries, the idea of law and property were considered as the secret key to the development of human societies
