The things that we own can be central to our identity, part of
how we see ourselves and how other people see us. Russell Belk,
PhD, of York University, talks about the role our possessions play
in our lives; what drives collectors to collect items as disparate
as stamps, art and Pez dispensers; how the word “possessions” can
encompass physical, digital and even completely intangible items;
and how has the rise of the sharing economy is changing the way
people think about the importance of ownership.
