'This book is compact and very readable. It discusses a subject-matter which is rarely considered and concisely reflects the ideas and concerns of a variety of leading scholars. . . What is most fascinating, to a lawyer, about this new book, is that it goes beyond the traditional boundaries of IP rights. . . The book gives insight in the basic economics and rationale behind IP law and pulls the reader into a wider political and societal debate on development. . . lawyers, who often take the existing IP system for granted, will find this book inspirational, even if it were just to broaden their horizons.'
