	'''''Against Intellectual Monopoly''''' is a book written by Michele Boldrin and David K. Levine.		'''''Against Intellectual Monopoly''''' is a book written by Michele Boldrin and David K. Levine. The text details the utilitarian case against [[intellectual property]], arguing that neither [[copyright]] nor [[patent]] are part of the [[free market]] order, but rather they are the product of [[positive law]], a modern invention of [[the state]], and one that is the enemy of technological progress.

			The authors argue that intellectual property is a misnomer; that the term [[monopoly]] is more accurate and the text examines the institution the same way all monopolies are examined in economic literature.
