After a long summer vacation, we're thrilled to be back for season seven of Digging a Hole! Just a couple of weeks ago we were baking; now we're surviving storm after storm, quivering and quaking. Climate change, huh? Here on the pod to discuss their forthcoming paper on how environmental law can help get us out of our existential crisis, “The Greens' Dilemma: Building Tomorrow's Climate Infrastructure Today” are J.B. Ruhl, the David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, and Jim Salzman, the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law at the UCLA School of Law. What is the Greens' Dilemma – and is it even a dilemma exactly? Sam and David have their doubts, but Professors Ruhl and Salzman lay out what they think the dilemma that environmentalists face is, why it's a dilemma, and their proposed solution to it. Professors Ruhl and Salzman discuss coalition building for green infrastructure and why they might be able to get both progressives and conservatives on board. Is a rapid transition to clean energy and negative emissions compatible with environmental justice (EJ)? Our guests answer with an emphatic yes but ask you, our argumentative listeners, to engage and disagree. This podcast is generously supported by Themis Bar Review.

If you own land in the United States, do you also own the airspace above it?

Mine — Examining the Law of Ownership An interview with Prof. Michael HellerA dispute over the proper owner of Barry Bonds' million-dollar home run ball, the right to grow California redwood trees that are shading a neighbor's solar panels, the legality of shooting down a drone flying over private property: the common thread among all these seemingly unrelated cases is that these are conflicts about ownership design. Ownership design is a powerful social engineering tool that shapes how we live our lives. It determines who gets what and why. Professor Michael Heller, co-author of Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives, explains the six fundamental stories that determine all rules of ownership through the lens of some surprising and controversial property law cases in American jurisprudence.

He is the author of Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives. In this episode, we focus on Mine! We talk about where our sense of ownership comes from, and the six different stories of ownership people have. We discuss if these stories are universal across societies and cultures, and how people decide which one is the best. We talk about how ownership works differently for intangible things, and how companies take advantage of people's sense of ownership. We discuss the ownership principle of attachment, and how it can be used to help solving climate change. Finally, we discuss if rules of ownership need to be codified in the law. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

What if ownership isn't a fact but a story? That's the tantalizing premise of “Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives.” Its authors, Michael Heller and James Salzman, who teach law at Columbia and UCLA, respectively, use their combined wisdom on the subject of property to show that the way we handle our personal tugs of war over parking spaces, fence lines, and reclining airline seats says a lot about how we can handle big social problems like wealth inequality and climate change.

When it comes to ownership, the same few simple stories are used from the playground to the courtroom. And the problem lies here, that we still have this very old, physical notion of ownership that no longer works in a digital world.Michael Heller is a professor of law at Columbia University and co-author of the classic The Gridlock Economy, and the more recent Mine! How The Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives. In this episode we'll dig into the merits of copyright and property law, why law is extremely overrated as a mechanism for resolving ownership disputes, what that “buy now” purchase button really means, and what we lose when we don't own physical things. Episode Quotes:How social norms play a role in our thoughts on ownership:So for example, say you're in a grocery store and you have a shopping cart full of groceries. If someone were to lean over and say oh, look, you got some eggs. Those are great. Take the eggs, lean in again, there's some milk, take the milk out. You would be furious with them.There'd be a fight. You would say, how is that possible? Those are mine. But if you stop for a second and think it's like, actually they're not yours. You don't own the groceries in your shopping cart. But people don't lean in and take them out of each other's carts because of the power of this norm or custom of possession.That possession it's very deeply rooted. It goes back to our animal and territorial instincts. It's something that kids become masters at from a very young age. It's a language that we all speak as grownups. And it's a language that basically gets us through the day.Why moving towards fewer property rights is better:The goal, from my point of view, is always: What is the absolute minimum we can give to get some level of innovation that we're looking for. And it turns out that the answer is much less legal protection than lawyers in particular and innovators lobby for. So innovators, the fashion industry for example, or, the Apples, the Amazons, the music industry, they're always lobbying for more properties. But I think that's mostly social welfare reducing, not increasing. And I think we have too much copyright in this country and too many patents in this country.Ownership & body parts:This is a really fraught area for ownership because it traces back in this country so directly to slavery, to the ownership of African American bodies and then the sort of end of that horror. And the question now is, now that we have new medical technologies that make the ownership of pieces of our bodies possible, do we say no you shouldn't be able for example, to sell your kidney or your eggs or rent out your womb if you're a woman to gestate somebody else's child. Do we say no to that? Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at Columbia Law SchoolMichael Heller on LinkedinMichael Heller on TwitterHis work:Michael Heller on Google ScholarMine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our LivesThe Gridlock Economy: How Too Much Ownership Wrecks Markets, Stops Innovation, and Costs Lives

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeThere's one slice of pizza left, and all three of your kids want it. One kid argues that he called dibs on it before it even came out of the oven, so it's definitely his. Another says that since she had track practice today, she's the hungriest–and therefore it belongs to her. The third declares that the two slices he already ate were wayyyy smaller than the rest, making him the rightful owner of this final piece. Unable to stop bickering over it, they look to you to decide who gets to eat it….but it seems like all three of them are making a pretty good case!Decisions like this can feel impossible, but as parents, we face them almost everyday. Not only are there battles of ownership between the kids themselves, but you and your teen also likely argue over who owns their phones, the car, their bedroom, and even perhaps their body. (Who should get the final say on blue hair and belly button piercings?) When problems arise, it's not always easy to distinguish what belongs to who, and that can make life pretty difficult!This week, we're talking about the rules of ownership….and what makes them so complicated. Our guests are Michael Heller and James Salzman, authors of the new book Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives. In their work as lawyers and law professors, James and Michael have spent a lot of time thinking about possession and what entitles someone to the rights of ownership.To help us understand how disputes over ownership arise, Michael, James and I are discussing the six rules that people use to argue that they have possession of something. We're also chatting about why companies think they have the right to sell your data and covering how you can use your ownership position to teach kids important life lessons.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

Jim Salzman and Michael Heller discuss their book "Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives." When is it okay to recline your airplane seat? Do we actually own our smartphones, or are we just leasing them? What do you really own when you click the “buy now” button?  And how is South Dakota making you less wealthy? In the spirited style of Freakonomics and Tipping Point, Jim Salzman and Michael Heller explore fun, surprising, and often infuriating real-life stories that reveal who gets what in the 21st century.  Remarkably, there are just six simple stories that we all use to claim ownership. These are the same stories kids use to solve fights on the playground – and they offer our best chance to address really big problems like preserving online freedom, cooling our warming planet, and curbing wealth inequality. Ownership shapes every single aspect of our lives - and it's the savvy owners who choose the story that steers us to do what they want. But don't be fooled. Ownership is always up for grabs and the prize goes to those who know how its hidden rules really work. Visit g.co/TalksAtGoogle/HiddenRulesOfOwnership to watch the video of this event.

[5:30] “I had it first.” There are six story arcs we tell ourselves when it comes to ownership. [7:10] As it relates to the airplane example and as people get more territorial about their space, there's actually more conflict happening than there was 20 years ago on airplanes. [8:10] If you want to resolve interpersonal conflict with your seatmate, buy him or her a snack. [9:50] Michael discusses the difference between need vs. ownership. [11:20] As kids, we know right away what possession means. [12:55] Online retailers understand human psychology. They understand we have a deep desire for physical possessions. [15:00] The United States actually has two legal systems. One for the people and one for the ultra-rich. [16:20] South Dakota has been a tax haven for the ultra, ultra-rich. [20:55] As a professor, Michael really wants to teach his students what it means to be a grownup. [22:50] Any decision you make reveals your deepest values. [29:15] Children's lives have been torn apart by badly crafted or non-existent estate plans. Parents can ease this burden by being specific. [30:45] The news thinks that we're going to have an end to ownership, especially when it comes to cars, houses, and other possessions. Michael disagrees. [37:00] Business leaders tend to overestimate the importance of law, especially intellectual property law. [42:10] Michael shares how ownership might differ in different countries. [44:35] Listener challenge: Take time to understand the six simple stories of ownership.   Quotable Quotes   “The feeling of community is very effective at resolving interpersonal conflict.”   “The law is overrated.” “South Dakota was creating the conditions for an aristocracy of inherited wealth.” “The bottom line: Possession + time, more or less, = ownership.

Every year, fights break out on airplanes. They happen between the people who lean back in their seats, and the people who get their knees smooshed. Sometimes planes have to be grounded because of these arguments. If you think about it, these arguments are the result of confusion. Both people paid for a seat on the airplane, but it's unclear who owns the space behind it. Jim Salzman and Michael Heller are law professors and the authors of a new book called Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives. They write about these common instances where ownership is not clear cut. According to Salzman and Heller, confusing ownership rules are often the result of poor ownership design. This is true not just for airplane seats, but also for battles over digital privacy, climate change, and wealth inequality.Mine!

Have you ever stopped to think about what ownership means to us as a culture? Many of us see it as an artifact of the legal system or something that's decided in courts. We believe it is a self-evident concept that lives outside of us and isn't really part of who we are, but rather a set of rules that affects our mortgages and our car payments.But ownership is in fact very much a part of what makes us human.Today and throughout history, a mere six competing stories of ownership have dictated how everything in the world is distributed. As resources have become scarcer, everyone from American homesteaders and ranchers, to tech leaders and consumer brands, have created ways to impose their own preferred ownership story in a world where what it means to “own” something is constantly evolving.We speak with Michael Heller and James Salzman, two of the world's leading scholars and authorities on ownership, and co-authors of the book Mine!: How The Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives to understand how the concept of ownership has been upending the brand landscape. They explain to us how the rules of ownership change in every generation, and how those changes reveal the true brand frontier, the role of business, and most importantly, a society's shifting values.  Links to interesting things mentioned in this episode and further reading:Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B5F7NNY/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0Drinking Water: A History: https://www.amazon.com/Drinking-Water-History-James-Salzman/dp/1468307118  The Hidden Rule of Ownership (Reason Magazine) https://reason.com/volokh/2021/03/06/the-hidden-rule-of-ownership/?itm_source=parsely-api&“Why you don't own the right to recline in your airplane seat” (Salon): https://www.salon.com/2021/03/07/why-you-dont-own-the-right-to-recline-in-your-airplane-seat/“Why barbed wire — yes, barbed wire — was as transformative as the telephone” (TED): https://ideas.ted.com/why-barbed-wire-yes-barbed-wire-was-as-transformative-as-the-telephone/Mine or Not Mine?

Join us for a virtual discussion with law professors Michael Heller and James Salzman to discuss the hidden set of rules that reveals how things become "mine"—the favorite word of every two-year-old. As adults, of course, the idea of ownership feels natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: your reclining self or the squished laptop user seated behind you? And why is plagiarism wrong, but it's okay to knock-off a recipe or a dress design? After a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, but in New York you lose both the space and the chair? Heller and Salzman explain these puzzles and many more using six simple stories that almost everyone uses to claim almost everything. And although choosing which story to use is often based on our most obvious legal rights, we can always pick a different story to use. This is true not just for airplane seats, but also for battles over digital privacy, climate change and wealth inequality. As Heller and Salzman demonstrate with stories that are eye-opening, mind-bending and sometimes infuriating, ownership is always up for grabs.

Today I spoke with Michael Heller about the book he has just published with James Salzman. The title is Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives (Doubleday, 2021) Michael Heller at Columbia University is Professor of Real Estate Law. Before joining Columbia Law in 2002, you taught at the University of Michigan, NYU, UCLA, and Yale Law Schools. Prior to entering academia, you worked at the World Bank on post-socialist legal transition and you even served as a law clerk at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. James Salzman is the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law with joint appointments at the UCLA and UC Santa Barbara. He was formerly at Duke University. His book, Drinking Water: A History, was reviewed and praised in the New York Times and Washington Post. Ownership rules have been a key topic in economics and law since the establishment of the disciplines, with economics being much more junior than law. Recently Law and economics or economic analysis of law have become an important field. Ownership rules are a key issue for Marx, John R. Commons, Oliver E. Williamson, Henry Hanssman. The authors themselves are very erudite academics that have chosen to write a book based on their research but very accessible to everyone in the style of Freakonomics. The book is about 300 pages, 7 chapters and one epilogue. They reveal six simple stories everyone uses to claim everything. Owners choose the rule that steers us to do what they want. But we can pick a different rule. As Heller and Salzman show, ownership is always up for grabs. Ownership is not simple, natural. It is intrinsically controversial and linked to inequality. We started our conversation with children arguing for the ownership of a toy at the playground and we ended talking about the tax and ownership regime in South Dakota. “Mine” is one of the first words babies learn. By the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you reclining or the squished laptop user behind you? Why does HBO look the other way when you illegally borrow a password to stream their shows? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, but in New York you lose the space and the chair? This is a very nice book that many will enjoy reading and is advertised by a very cool website with videos that allow you to meet the authors: https://www.minethebook.com/videos/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a universal truth: one of the first words a baby speaks is “Mine!” Ownership governs everything in our lives. Hundreds of times each day, we encounter rules that determine who gets what, and when they get it. Tune in for a deep dive into this compelling topic that flies under most people's radar. You'll discover: How ownership of every single thing on the planet is claimed in one of six ways, whether by a kid on a playground, or a government controlling a global population   Why the assertion that owning nothing would reduce consumption isn't necessarily true When does “possession is nine-tenths of the law” turn into “possession is one-tenth of the law,” and how this notion is impacting society now more than ever How and why the gap between what you feel you own and what you actually own is getting larger Two guests join the show today: James Salzman, the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law with joint appointments at UCLA School of Law and at the Bren School of the Environment at UC Santa Barbara and author of Drinking Water: A History; and Michael Heller, Lawrence A. Wien Professor of Real Estate Law at Columbia Law School and author of The Gridlock Economy: How Too Much Ownership Wrecks Markets, Stops Innovation, and Costs Lives. They've joined forces to write a book on ownership, which upon close examination, is something that reaches far beyond holding something tangible that you paid for. Ownership is a form of social engineering, an evolving technology just like any other technology. What does this mean in a world where the ownership of tangible things is becoming increasingly uncommon, and online platforms dominate? What does the future of ownership look like, and how will it affect our lives as free individuals? These are just a few of the questions at the crux of the book co-authored by Salzman and Heller, titled Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives, which is slated to be released on March 2nd of this year. “The place where freedom is born and dies is around ownership, around our access to resources. When governments want to destroy freedom, what they often do first is limit people's ability to own things…there is really nothing more fundamental to freedom than what you can make yours,” says Heller. So, what can you make yours, and by what rules could you do that? Heller and Salzman discuss the six claims to ownership used by everyone, everywhere. They also discuss what it means to decide ownership, and how doing so unavoidably decides our fundamental values. They give eye-opening examples of how the rules of ownership play out in all facets of everyday life, from what we watch on TV to which lane we drive in. The overarching message that Heller and Salzman aim to get across in their book is this: deciding ownership isn't a force of nature, but a choice, and there can and SHOULD be a debate about it.
