  Do you think ownership was a 20th century anomaly, then? Prior to the 20th century, ownership of most real property was owned by the landed classes. And personal property was not that great for most people.

    If super-advanced aliens landed on our planet today and analyzed our history... they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between today and feudal times... there might be a blip of real ownership somewhere in the early-middle part of this century but as things are progressing it'll be back to business as usual for the aristocracy of tomorrow.

  Home ownership rate in the u.s. is 65%[1]. Considering the relative large homes people live in today, it seems a pretty decent number. Of course there's probably a large class of poor people who haven't got an option to buy decent housing(especially in a safe area) and that's a problem. Car ownership and cellphone ownership are mostly marketing driven. almost anybody can own some car and phone.
