Economics and Intellectual Property

Abstract: A 6 page paper discussing the relationship between intellectual property rights and economic prosperity. MIT's Lester Thurow has written that it will be intellectual property on which tomorrow's economy will be based, and it appears that his predictions are more than only valid. The economy is experiencing a correction in 2001, but it is still reasonable to assume that it will be technological enterprises and creativity that will create wealth in the future. The challenge is to finds ways of protecting intellectual property rights without constraining the creativity that businesses and governments will continue to need. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
