At what point did 'ownership' become a thing? I understand that a person or group of people can have ownership of a certain entity, fine, or even of an abstract process or whatever. But these days you see corporate bumf saying shit like "Oh yes, we're dead keen on ownership!", in the same way you might describe yourself as keen on cheese or football or classical music. As if were something you can value in and of itself, without it being ownership *of* anything. Bizarre.

"Deliverables" can fuck off and all.
