Trusteeship

A trusteeship is a broadly defined economic and business entity where a trustee or fiduciary holds and administers property for a beneficiary's benefit.

Pytarus
Trusteeships were the driving engines of the Pytarene economy, and the Trust Revolution saw curators become highly efficient managers able to bring them to an almost unparalleled complexity. Trusteeships were intimately connected and embedded with the curacy as a social unit and with curators' own careers as entrepreneurs both political and economic. The Pytarene model of the trusteeship was often perceived as comprising no more than the intellect, capabilities, and connections of the single person acting as trustee, an ideal which was spread across the Great Path during the high tide of commercialism in the Pytarene-influenced world.

Vasarea
The instrument of benefaction, a generalized yet also better-elaborated sense of a charitable donation or bequeathal, allowed numerous institutions, but ultimately most notably the academy, to act as fiduciaries.

The later grant-making academies and similar bodies of the Edifice did not directly rely as heavily on benefactions from ordinary laity, and eventually used new instruments based on project-specific financing, but it was certainly owing to the accumulation made possible by previous models that the sphere of liberal enterprise could come into its own as a source, channel, and coordinator of capital.
