Riassunto

Presenting his theory of the "tragedy of the anticommons," the author looks at the consequences of excessive property rights creating an underuse of resources, addressing such specific issues as excessive patent rights that inhibit the development of life-saving drugs, real estate practices that lead to a loss of family estates, copyright laws, and more. 35,000 first printing.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The last decade has produced enough books challenging received wisdom to fill a small--and stupendously popular library called the Compendium of Counter-intuition, [including Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink," James Surowiecki's "Wisdom of Crowds ," Chris Anderson's "Long Tail"]. The newest addition to the collection is "The Gridlock Economy," . . . The difference is that Heller, unlike most of the authors of counterintuitive books, is actually a leader in the academic field he is scrutinizing. . . . Heller has managed to pull off one of the most perceptive popular books on property since "Das Kapital,"" --"Slate Magazine"
"
