Patent and copyright law are stifling innovation and threatening the global economy.
Abolishing the current patent and copyright system is needed in order to unleash innovations necessary to reverse the current recession and rescue the economy.
"From a public policy view, we'd ideally like to eliminate patent and copyright laws altogether," says Levine, John H. Biggs Distinguished Professor of Economics. "There's plenty of protection for inventors and plenty of protection and opportunities to make money for creators. It's not that we see this as some sort of charitable act that people are going to invent and create things without earning money. Evidence shows very strongly there are lots of ways to make money without patents and copyright."
