Critics Review
Unwraps intellectual property’s supposed enigma in an accessible fashion. Power, profits, piracy: all are explored here with real arguments and facts. Provocative. * Alan Story, University of Kent, UK *
Combining analytical and narrative approaches, this book is an excellent way to get to grips with the current political economy of intellectual property. * Christopher May, Lancaster University, UK *
The idea of Intellectual Property is, quite literally, an attempt to monopolize ideas. In this exciting volume, the ideological basis of IP is critiqued, and the options for resistance examined. * John Quiggin, University of Queensland, Australia *
As much a handbook that suggests radical thought and action as it is an intellectuals’ guide to intellectual property. * Jonah Raskin, Socialism and Democracy *
A critical guide that tells the truth about intellectual property. Everybody should read it. * Peter Drahos, Australian National University, Australia *
