The Developmental Pattern in Marx's Theory of Ownership

According to Marx, the evolution of ownership is not merely pluralistic but also a process of natural growth. Three types of developmental patterns exist in his theory of ownership: 1. private ownership of small producers--capitalist private ownership--reestablished private ownership; 2. primitive communist public ownership--private ownership--future communist publicownership; 3. no-ownership)--ownership--no-ownership. Therefore, the developmental patternsof Marx' s theory of ownership cannot be reduced to those of linear evolution. Otherwise it will prove difficult, with the changes in economic interests of reality, to choose the appropriate structure and forms of ownership in relation to the interests.
