private ownership
Individual property rights
Private ownership is the holding of property, assets, or enterprises by individuals or non-governmental entities rather than by the state.
The term often appears in discussions contrasting capitalism with socialism or communism: The factory transitioned from state control to private ownership.
Private ownership implies rights to use, profit from, and dispose of what one owns.
