What is "Modern land-ownership"? This problem has been disputed respectively in science of low, political economy and historical science since J. Lock and A. Smith's classical theories. For example, Takeyoshi Kawashima in Japan insists that to be bought and sold as commodity marks land-ownership in the civil revolution period. He also says it has absolute, ideal and private characters. On the other hand, Hiroshi Mizumoto and Yozo Watanabe insist that tenant-right is predominant over land-ownership in the industrial revolution period. They also say that the characteristics of modern land-ownership are to recognize the freedom to transfer and sublease tenant-right, to guarantee a long term of tenancy, and to repay the cost that a tenant spent to improve the land. The prototypes of these two land-ownership theories can be found in Karl Marx's texts. Marx in Capital Vol.3 estimated land-ownership as a permanent foundation of capitalist society. While Marx in Theory of Surplus Value considered land-ownership as a needless cancer in capitalist society. Therefore we attempt an analysis of the significance and defects of Marx's texts. and investigate the position that land-ownership takes in modern capitalist society.
