Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 295.

This is my appearance on Jimmy Song’s podcast Bitcoin Fixes This (ep. 7).

Bitcoin Fixes This #7: Intellectual Property

Stephan Kinsella is a patent attorney, Austrian economist and author of Against Intellectual Property. We talk about IP law’s monarchist origins and how it’s a tool for monopoly. Stephan also tells us about how information is not the same thing as physical property and how IP and Bitcoin both suffer from labor theories of value.
