POP (“Possession, Ownership and Property”) collection

The POP collection is an evolving collection. It builds on a donation of multi-disciplinary books by Professor Floyd Rudmin (University of Tromsø), a prominent pioneer in the field. The digital collection features bibliographical information on all these books as well as on further key readings in the field.

At the WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business), the collection was initiated by the Institute for Marketing and Consumer Research (m.core), which also hosts this blog.

The literature listed in the digital POP collection deals with the concepts of ownership and property mainly from a non-legal, human and social science perspective. It spans numerous disciplines and theories, ranging from anthropology over psychology, sociology, and history to law and political sciences. This makes the digital collection an internationally unique resource.

Further, we always welcome input on additional articles, books or other types of writings. If you think that something is missing, feel free to contact us mcore@wu.ac.at.
