History
See also: CommunalismBefore the Neolithic Revolution, tribes practiced communal ownership of all assets, which preceded private ownership. The Native Americans practiced the common ownership of land and allocated it to individuals through usufruct rights. Robert LeFevre argued that common ownership of land started to wither since the start of farming in Egypt and the Middle East. In Marxist theory, this form of ownership is called Primitive communism because it was based on common ownership on a subsistence level.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
