Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

An excellent and compelling account of how current international intellectual property rules are more an outcome of coercion by powerful corporations and rich countries, than of democratic processes.... This book is not just essential reading for all those working in this field, but is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in how the rules of the global knowledge economy are set.

"An excellent and compelling account. . . . A fascinating read for anyone interested in how the rules of the global knowledge economy are set." --Oxfam

"If you want to know the real politics behind the new property rights . . . read this book." --Dr. Vandana Shiva, author of Biopiracy and Protect or Plunder

"An important contribution to the ongoing concerns about colonialism and its effects on the maintenance of access to ideas and to knowledge as a public good." --College Research & Libraries Journal

Reseña del editor:

Based on extensive interviews with key players, a study reveals how the "knowledge economy" is making slaves of everyone except for a few multinational companies and argues that in the globalized information society, the rich have found new ways to rob the poor, using intellectual property rules.
