ABSTRACT
Immovable property is a static form of property, which is based on notions of cultivation and exploitation of land and the wealth that stems from it. The production of wealth is thus organised by relying on income structures stemming from the exploitation of land, by tending the land with manual labour. Industrial production strengthened the economical as well as legal significance of chattel, so that it could be exploited in new ways. Naturally, it also meant that the feudal structures slowly merged into bourgeois structures and the monetary institutions obtained a strengthened symbolical significance. The traits that the hyperobjects in the guise of goods do have in common, and that Michael Hardt also points to, is that they are based on and dependent on ideas, images and information. Jurgen Habermas was fascinated by how private individuals integrated and acted within the public spheres.
