Michele Boldrin: Against Intellectual Monopoly (1h19m)
Manage episode 287823777 series 2478947
Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor).

This episode features an interview of research economist Michele Boldrin from 2009 by Russ Roberts, host of Econtalk. Boldrin argues that copyright and patent are used by the politically powerful to maintain monopoly profits. He argues that the incentive effects that have been used to justify copyright and patents are exaggerated–few examples from history suggest that the temporary and not-so-temporary monopoly power from copyright and patents were necessary to induce innovation. Boldrin reviews some of that evidence and talks about the nature of competition. Purchase books by Michele Boldrin from Amazon here.
