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.
