Abstract :This study will explore a future era that has been termed as  “Malikiyet ve Serbestiyet” (Ownership and Liberty) by Said Nursi in  his work Mektubat. The study analyzes Nursi’s and Marx’s approaches  in classifying human history and proposes a new classification which  helps to understand the future’s economic relations better with the hints  from the developments after Marx and Nursi. This study discusses how it would be possible to get over  negative conditions that people have faced throughout history such as  slavery, captivity and the exploitation of human labor under the current  salary system. The study shows that the “Ownership and Liberty Era”  has many qualities, which offer more advanced conditions for  humanity compared to the past.  It is aimed to achieve an original point of view by  concentrating on the ideas of ownership, possession and liberty in an  era where an increasing importance of property rights appears, and a  desired freedom is accomplished in all matters.  Considering the high cost it imposes on countries and the harm  it gives to the property system, and its hindering the advances proposed  here, the black economy and its characteristics are also discussed.
