*or they. idk.
E: clarify
More than ever? Probably not.
Theft has pretty much always been a crime. Picking an apple from the King’s orchard could get you killed in some places.
I’d say it’s probably about the same, aside from a few specific cultures that weren’t built on the concept of property.
Who does? What kind of objects?
“Share economy” seems bigger than ever to me. Just a few years ago it wasn’t even a thing.
Bigger than ever in post industrial society, maybe. Pre-industrial times almost everyone shared almost everything. The ones who didn’t share were rich, and even they often would invite guests to stay for a whole season semi-regularly because of their ridiculously big houses and desire for entertainment.
What is exclusive? Relics and sacred temples were pretty exclusive in the past.
I assumed op meant exclusive access in the sense of “this is mine, and nobody else is allowed to use it”.
Tragedy of the commons. As communities grow bigger and more distant, commons become more open to abuse
