In economics remains controversial question of the relationship between economic and legal aspects of property relations. Speaking of the two aspects of property relations, it should be noted that earlier in domestic economic literature more surfactants and unambiguously interpreted the nature of their relationship.

The interaction of legal and economic sides of property relations was largely limited to the consideration of the degree of adequacy of each other, and the primacy of the derivative. The legal property relations were perceived only as a "clearance" (not always adequate) the economic relations of the property, the focus was on the subordinate nature of the right to economic relations.

Dispersal of ownership of the same objects among several individuals recognized feudal remnants and destruction of private property. In the early stages of the development of capitalism civil law was directed against the feudal law and feudal property relations and meet, so the interests of small-scale production.

In the civil law does not fit the formation of joint-stock forms of management, various partnerships and corporate entities. Ultimately, the civil law of property no longer meets the trends of industrial and post-industrial society. This discrepancy was overcome by the emergence and development of the Anglo-Saxon trends in the field of property rights.

The splitting ownership of the powers of a few individuals considered this direction as the normal state of the economy and solved as contributing to extract the maximum possible benefit from the property.
