It offers a detailed analysis of pre-investment decisions that can reduce political risk, treaties protecting investment, and international dispute resolution.
Esta monografia de Stephan Kinsella é justamente considerada um clássico moderno. Foi ela que fez com que libertários do mundo inteiro reconsiderassem suas posições relativas as fundamentações da propriedade intelectual. Mises alertou sobre o perigo das patentes, e Rothbard também. Mas Kinsella vai muito mais a fundo e argumenta que a simples existência de patentes é incompatível com o livre mercado, e inclui aí os direitos autorais e as marcas registradas. Eles se utilizam do estado para criar escassez artificial de bens não escassos e fazem uso da coerção de um modo que contraria os direitos de propriedade e a liberdade contratual. Muitas pessoas que leram este ensaio pela primeira vez foram pegas de surpresa pelo rigor de sua argumentação, que leva algum tempo para ser assimilada, pois num primeiro momento a ideia pode chocar. Porém, Kinsella demonstra sua razão através de uma lógica poderosa e exemplos que possuem um poder de convencimento avassalador.
