托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
There was undoubtedly some appropriation of useful articles before the custom of appropriating women arose. The usages of existing archaic communities in which there is no ownership of women is warrant for such a view. In all communities the members, both male and female, habitually appropriate to their individual use a variety of useful things; but these useful things are not thought of as owned by the person who appropriates and consumes them. The habitual appropriation and consumption of certain slight personal effects goes on without raising the question of ownership; that is to say, the question of a conventional, equitable claim to extraneous things.

白话
在“占有女人”的习俗出现之前,人们肯定已经会占用有用的东西了。看看那些现存古老社群,它们没有把女人当作财产,这就是证据。在所有社群中,无论男女,都会习惯性地把各种有用之物拿来自己用;但这些有用之物并不被看作归那个占用和消费它的人所有。对某些小件私人物品的习惯性占用和消费,一直进行着,却不会引出所有权的问题——也就是说,不会去问:对于身外之物,谁有习俗上、公平的 claim。
上下文
凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》讨论私有制的起源,认为所有权最初来自掠夺和战利品,而非单纯的使用。
