	Privately held company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term privately held company refers to ownership of a business company in two different ways—first, referring to ownership by non-governmental organizations; and second, referring to ownership of the company's stock by a relatively small number of holders who do not trade the stock publicly.
		Often, privately held companies are owned by the company founders and/or their families and heirs or by a small group of investors.
		Private companies may be called corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, sole proprietorships, business trusts, or other names, depending on where and how they are organized.

	Ownership
		Private property in land, according to George, is unjust because it lets owners of land refuse access to land, and thereby threatens livelihood and life itself.
		Private property in land is also unjust because it enables owners of land to levy toll on production for the use of land; therefore it is robbery.
		The right to possess and to pass on the ownership of things that in their nature decay and soon cease to be is a very different thing from the right to possess and to pass on the ownership of that which does not decay, but from which each successive generation must live.

	Property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A right of ownership is associated with property that establishes the good as being "one's own thing" in relation to other individuals or groups, assuring the owner the right to dispense with the property in a manner he or she sees fit.
		Private property is that which belongs to an individual or a group of individuals (often in the form of individual tradable shares); public property is that which belongs to a whole community collectively or a State.
		Some of them say 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.

	NCPA Debate Central -- #4 Private Ownership Promotes Responsibility...
		Private ownership is one of the least understood institutions of the free society -a fact that can be of enormous value to debaters and extempers looking for a fresh, unexpected angle on an issue.
		Many people assume that since ownership entails the right to use property as one sees fit and to exclude others from using it that private property is anti-social and dangerous.
		Private property does give owners a degree of freedom but it also makes them accountable for their actions.

	HUMAN ACTION: A TREATISE ON ECONOMICS
		This catallactic notion of ownership and property rights is not to be confused with the legal definition of ownership and property rights as stated in the laws of various countries.
		However, nowadays there are tendencies to abolish the institution of private property by a change in the laws determining the scope of the actions which the proprietor is entitled to undertake with regard to the things which are his property.
		Private ownership means that the proprietors determine the employment of the factors of production, while public ownership means that the government controls their employment.

	Private Residence Club
		While vacation homebuyers have for decades shared the ownership and use of second homes to defray costs, it is only recently that this arrangement has been expedited through the formation of Private Residence Clubs.
		Not to be confused with a timeshare or a typical vacation ownership plan, which is basically a renewable vacation, a Private Residence Club is a real estate investment with flexibility of use that models single-home ownership.
		Private Residence Clubs address a previously unmet need at a price that is affordable to a much broader segment of the market.

	The Ownership Society - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		"Ownership Society" was already vapid and insufferable halfway through the GOP convention, where it had been pounded flat by pundits, politicians, and media stars even before Bush himself invoked it. It is nonetheless interesting as a piece of political propaganda, and deserves a closer look.
		Private property must serve the needs of the state or else it is taken.
		This is an Ownership Society that does not threaten the interests of the state, but neither does it have anything to do with liberty.

		Seasholes seeks to bolster his call for secure, unrestrained private property rights, not by turning to the history that is so much against him, but by offering examples gleaned from other countries of ways that private rights can promote species survival.
		Ownership entails a mixture of rights to use and rights to halt inconsistent land uses by neighbors.
		This ownership vision never held sway in any historical era, but the tendency to abstract ownership norms has been a powerful one, particularly over the last century, and it is one of the chief elements of property jurisprudence that simply must give way.

		In 1994 gun ownership was far from uniformly distributed across the population, as is evident from exhibit 2.
		Private citizens sometimes use their guns to scare off trespassers and fend off assaults.
		Perhaps as a result of the increasing urbanization of America, the overall prevalence of gun ownership appears to be declining, as is participation in hunting.

	Fractional Ownership, Fractionals, Private Residence Clubs, Destination Clubs, Vacation Home Ownership
		Fractional ownership of vacation homes, also called private residence clubs, is a relatively new concept that allows you to enjoy up to three months of home ownership privileges at a top-of-the-line, luxury resort but at a fraction of the cost of whole ownership.
		Fractionals and private residences clubs offer you the opportunity to purchase a deeded share (usually 1/4 to 1/13) in a residence that gives you a certain number of weeks per year at the property and use of all amenities.
		Fractionals and private residence clubs typically offer extensive amenities, ranging from a lavish clubhouse and spa to five-star hotel services that would not be available with wholly-owned vacation homes or timeshares.

		They emphasized the creation of favorable conditions for bottom-up development of the private sector: encouraging the launch of new firms by eliminating barriers to entry, guaranteeing the security of private ownership, enforcing private contracts, and applying affirmative action—cautiously—for example, through tax and credit policies.
		During the first phase of privatization, state assets were dispersed among millions of voucher holders—only to end up later concentrated in investment funds.
		In this environment, a historically unprecedented "ownership reform" occurred in which the ownership of natural resources, especially oil and gas, was expropriated by "oligarchs." The soft budget constraint infiltrates every cell of Russia's economy and body politic.

	SSRN-State Versus Private Ownership by Andrei Shleifer
		Private ownership should generally be preferred to public ownership when the incentives to innovate and to contain costs must be strong.
		Moreover, many of the concerns that private firms fail to address social goals can be addressed through government contacting and regulation without resort to government ownership.
		The case for private provision only becomes stronger when competition between suppliers, reputational mechanisms, and the possibility of provision by private not-for-profit firms, as well as political patronage and corruption, are brought into play.

	Private ownership and its critics
		To these commentators and those like them competition and entrepreneurship can by some mysterious means be divorced from ownership.
		Without the presence of private companies striving to make profits the state companies would not be able to make the kind of commercial decisions that their entrepreneurial competitors have to make each day of their existence.
		Without individual ownership these entrepreneurs could not have existed and their products would never have been born.

		From the chaos of private ownership has come the brilliant success of the southern forests during the last one hundred years.
		Keeping government regulation and control out of our private forests is the key to providing the future forests that we and our descendants want, the nation needs, and the world can use as the shining example of how natural resources should be managed.

	Greenspan Concern Over Public Ownership or Private Assets - 2/26/01
		In evaluating whether the Social Security trust fund could invest in private assets without causing political interference in the capital markets — and economic inefficiency as a consequence — it is useful to examine the experiences of state and local pension funds, as well as foreign governments, in undertaking similar investments.
		Thus, a privately owned entity would be choosing private fund managers who were required to invest in broadly diversified market indexes and were prohibited from voting their shares.
		Financial assets representing investments in the private sector amounted to $2.824 trillion, or 28 percent of GDP in the third quarter of 2000 ($10.039 trillion).

		There are many types of fractional ownership of Aircraft 'time share' and block hours schemes available, but in reality there are few, if any, advantages to fractional ownership over private air charter.
		While it may seem that ownership, even partial ownership of a private aircraft affords unparalleled convenience, the reality is far different.
		Private air charter is clearly the much more economical and convenient choice.
