Jim Salzman and Michael Heller, law professors and co-authors of 'Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives,' tackle the complex theme of ownership. They humorously dissect the awkward airplane seating dilemmas that spark heated confrontations. The duo explores how ownership narratives shape societal values, from solar energy decisions in California to historical land ownership disputes with Indigenous peoples. Finally, they discuss practical strategies for improving passenger experiences and the implications of ownership in our digital age.
