4.0 out of 5 stars
Short, but clear-sighted,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Fire of Invention, The Fuel of Interest: On Intellectual Property (Pfizer Lecture Series) (Paperback)
In the summer of 1995, author Michael Novak was approached by Pfizer Inc, with their desire to have him give three lectures on key issues facing businesses in the 21st century. This short book (51 pages if you include the title page, endnotes, etc.) covers one of those lectures.In February of 1859, Abraham Lincoln gave a speech in which he listed the six steps in the history of liberty, and the final step was the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, which includes the first establishment of copyrights and patents. Mr. Lincoln argued that copyrights and patents were the cornerstone of American prosperity and advancement. Some 150 years later, Mr. Novak makes the argument that copyrights and patents are just as important now as they ever were. If you are interested in reading a short, but clear-sighted argument in favor of copyrights and patents, then I highly recommend that you read this book.
