History teaches us that each technological advancement creates its own winners and losers. The debate between the push for individual control of property rights and the drive to build an 'intellectual commons' for the good of all is an inevitable component of 'political economy'. This book explores the role of economic incentives in society and ultimately how to protect the rights of both producers and consumers.
