Kinsalla attacks the IP situation every time he writes something.
I believe he is a patent lawyer, too.
He has a lot of good examples of stifling innovation.
Innovation is also stifled by the narridigm.
Did you know Einstein was a patent office clerk?
He had several patents to his name, how do you think he got them?
Working in the office, several disparate patents. Ahh……. Yes.

I'm a big Kinsella fan. He's probably my favorite Austrian school thinker, too bad he doesn't do it full time.
I knew about Einstein working in a patent office, but I didn't know he was a patent poacher.
reply
Yes, he poached quite a few. That is what made him independently wealthy and able to do his theory.
reply
Yeah, the steam engine is invented towards the beginning of the 1700's, as I recall, and it doesn't make a serious economic impact until almost the end of that century.
It's actually shocking how absent any evidence is to support IP.
