“It may be that there is today no feature of our legal or our economic system more misunderstood than patents. They are the premier example of a policy where there is a fathomless breach between its public reputation and its real purpose. These special state-granted powers are among the most freedom-limiting counterfeit rights the modern age has ever produced, and they should be abolished completely, with not a one left. We can’t even open a conversation about something like ‘free markets’ or ‘economic freedom’ before that step has been taken.” (10/26/25)
