Who is the Public & Private Ownership poster for?
Public & Private Ownership belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning political economy can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Public & Private Ownership poster?
Ownership matters most where contracts cannot specify quality adequately. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Public & Private Ownership belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Public & Private Ownership poster print at?
Public & Private Ownership is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Public & Private Ownership loses nothing.Printing guide
