[Cross-posted at C4SIF]
I have occasionally corresponded with Deirdre McCloskey, and met the good doctor in person at FreedomFest in Rapid City, South Dakota (with my buddy Juan Carpio) in July 2021.
I have noted before McCloskey is weak on IP, being: “somewhat skeptical of patent and copyright, but not in favor of abolition and expresses no principled or coherent view.”1
I sent this email the other day after seeing column above posted on Twitter. I got no response (as expected) so post my email here.
- Kinsella, Classical Liberals, Libertarians, Anarchists and Others on Intellectual Property, referring to Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, “Quit Worrying and Learn To Love Trade With China: Fretting over deficits and intellectual property will do no good and much harm.,” Reason (April 2019). [↩]
