Feudalism is actually a social (political) rather than economic system. Traditional definitions focus on private ownership. But what does private ownership imply? Ownership, to have any meaning, must be based on rights. Otherwise you own something only in name while someone else tells you what to do. Feudalism is the system that recognizes and protects individual rights. It defines the only function of government as defending those rights through an objective system of justice. ;-) Tom
