Abstract

Ownership and the right of ownership are formed in a specific historical and social con¬text. Knowing these differences, as well as the reasons for their existence, may serve as a guar¬antee for the successful realization of the rights and for their protection. This paper discusses some specifics of the ownership in Bulgaria, which have been differentiated as a result of the social and economic relations from the Mid¬dle Ages to the present days. Such distinction is carried out in the paper on the basis of the dif¬ferences between East and West, between country and town as well as natural exchange and monetary exchange.
