The democratization of invention : patents and copyrights in American economic development, 1790-1920
This book, first published in 2005, examines the evolution and impact of American intellectual property rights during the 'long nineteenth century'. America is compared to Britain and France, whose institutions reflected their oligarchic origins. The United States created the first modern patent system and its politics were the most liberal world wide toward inventors.
